An armed and dangerous Concord man wanted for the robberies of First Horizon Bank in Statesville, as well as a series of Charlotte area banks was captured Thursday in Black Mountain, according to the U.S. Marshals Service Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force. Kelvin Wayne Simmons was wanted for robbery with a dangerous weapon, kidnapping, and fleeing/eluding arrest by a motor vehicle. The U.S. Marshals Service said Simmons was wanted for multiple armed robberies not only in Statesville and Mecklenburg, but also Rowan, Rockingham, and Henderson counties. Simmons was released from prison in October 2022 after being charged with resisting an officer, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, and felony breaking and entering in 2001.
