The Chattanooga Police Department (CPD) has arrested the suspect connected to a bank robbery and an attempted bank robbery that occurred in Hixson, TN on October 4, 2025. The same suspect is also charged with Aggravated Robbery for another bank robbery committed the morning of October 6, 2025.

David Taylor, 64, was taken into custody without incident after returning to one of the banks involved in Saturday’s incidents. During the robbery, Taylor demanded money from tellers while pointing a firearm at them. He was identified as the same individual responsible for the previous bank robbery and attempted robbery that occurred over the weekend.

The Chattanooga Police Department thanks its media partners for sharing images of the suspect with their audiences. Following that coverage, a community member recognized Taylor and contacted CPD.

Taylor is currently charged with Aggravated Robbery related to the October 6 incident. Additional charges are forthcoming for the robbery and attempted robbery that occurred on October 4. He is custody at the Hamilton County Jail and Detention Center.

CPD also extends its appreciation to our law enforcement partners, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the U.S. Marshals Service, for their assistance in the investigation and arrest of Taylor.
