We now know more about the bank robbery that ended in a deadly chase and gunfight last week.
Court documents show officers found nearly $12,000 on 19-year-old Steven Ray Willard from Phillips. On Tuesday, another suspect, 21-year-old Robert McCallie from Kennan was in Sawyer County court.
In the criminal complaint, Willard told investigators he had never met 50-year-old Rudy Frenzer until they robbed the bank on Friday. That's when Willard told investigators the three drove to Ladysmith and stopped at the Ladysmith Dollar Store to buy Halloween masks and bags. He says they then drove to Dairyland State Bank in Exeland and robbed it. Court documents show Willard and McCallie wore Richard Nixon and Bernie Madoff masks.
Willard told deputies McCallie pointed a pistol at the teller and demanded money from the safe and the bank window. The teller was told to lie on the floor as the suspects ran out and got in a car. Willard says during the chase, Frenzer told McCallie and Willard to get out, and they ran into the woods.
Officers arrested Willard and found more than $11,000 on him and found another $500 in the woods.
The Rusk County Sheriff's Department says Frenzer led them on a chase and shot at deputies before he was shot and killed.
McCallie was arrested on Sunday in Rhinelander. He's charged with armed robbery. His bond was set at $100,000.
