Williams was picked up by the Rancho Cordova Police Department on Jan. 25 in connection with the robbery and is being held without bail.

At the time of arrest,Williams was also on probation for drug and theft violations, U.S District Attorney Lawrence Brown said in a statement. The FBI and Sacramento County Sheriff had been investigating the case and ultimately led to Williams’ arrest.

Williams then went back to the same bank on January 21 and robbed it again, Rodriguez said, and left with approximately $501.

Williams has also agreed to pay restitution for the robberies.

Williams will be sentenced on October 13, 2009 and faces up to 20 years in prison for the offenses.
