I1 am a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and have been so employed since 2005. My duties include the investigation of various violations of federal criminal law, including bank robberies, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2113. 2. The statements contained in this Af?davit are based in part on information provided by other Special Agents and/or local law enforcement officers, witnesses, my observations, and my experience. I have not included all the facts known about the case, but only those necessary to establish probable cause that MATTHEW ALAN PICKETT has violated Title 18?, United States Code, Section 2113 bank robbery. 3. On May 28, 2014, at approximately 1:48 pm, the Key Bank branch located at 330 West 14 Mile Road, Clawson, Michigan was robbed. At that time, the robber entered the bank, approached a bank employee, and presented a demand note. The note stated, ?Do not talk I have a gun put the money on the counter. No bait bills. I don?t want to hurt anyone but I will. I am dying anyways. Hurry up The employee complied with the demand and provided the robber with money from her drawer. The robber then exited the bank taking the money and the demand note. DOC 1 Filed During a neighborhood canvass of the surrounding area of the bank, a resident informed a Clawson Police Officer that someone she knows as MATTHEW PICKETT was on her side porch asking for a ride. She advised that PICKETT ran away when a Clawson Police car drove by. This resident said that her interaction with PICKETT occurred at approximately 1:45 p.m. After PICKETT ran from the resident?s location, she noticed that PICKETT left behind a sweatshirt on her porch. Clawson Police recovered the sweatshirt. The Clawson Police of?cer noted that the sweatshirt resembled the sweatshirt worn by the robber" of the Key Bank (as depicted in the surveillance photos from the bank). 5. On May 28, 2014, an FBI Agent interviewed David Harlukowicz and showed him a photo of the bank robbery suspect taken from Key Bank?s surveillance video. Harlukowicz identi?ed the suspect as his cousin, MATTHEW PICKETT. 6. On May 29, 2014, I reviewed photographs of MATTHEW ALAN PICKETT provided to another law enforcement officer from family members of MATTHEW ALAN PICKETT. I compared the photographs provided by the family with the surveillance photographs of the robbery of Key Bank and the surveillance photographs matched the known photographs of MATTHEW ALAN PICKETT. DOC 1 Filed 05/30/May 29, 2014, PICKETT was located by Southfield Police Officer Paul Kinal walking the street near 8 Mile in Interstate 75 in the City of Warren. City of Warren police of?cers then arrested PICKETT. 8. On May 29, 2014, I interviewed PICKETT regarding the Key Bank robbery. I advised PICKETT of his Miranda rights, which PICKETT waived and agreed to make a statement. PICKETT admitted: a. To robbing the Key Bank in Clawson on May 28, 2014. PICKETT admitted using the demand note (which had been recovered from another location by law enforcement officers). PICKETT stated he did not actually have a gun during the robbery. b. PICKETT also admitted that the baseball hat that he was wearing at the time of his arrest was the same hat seen in the surveillance pictures from the Key Bank robbery. c. PICKETT admitted to robbing the Anheuser-Busch Credit Union in St. Louis, Missouri in December 2013. PICKETT said that just as with the robbery of the Key Bank, he used a note to demand money during the Anheuser-Busch Credit Union robbery. d. PICKETT also admitted to being a drug addict. PICKETT admitted that he both used drugs and sold drugs to support his habit. DOC 1 Filed PICKETT admitted to spending much of the money he obtained from the robbery of the Key Bank on drugs, including providing drug dealers with a down payment for future drug use. 9. During the search of PICKETT, I recovered $611 from his person. PICKETT admitted that approximately $400-$500 of that money was remaining from the Key Bank robbery. l0.An open source query regarding the St. Louis robbery referred to by PICKETT in his interview revealed that the Anheuser?Busch Employees? Credit Union was robbed in December 2013. The article from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that PICKETT had been charged with the robbery. PICKETT admitted that he did not thereafter appear at subsequent hearings on the St. Louis case. 11. The Key Bank located at 330 West .14 Mile Road, Clawson, Michigan, is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. DOC 1 Filed Based on the above information, there is probable cause to believe that MATTHEW ALAN PICKETT, by force and violence, or by intimidation, took from the person or presence of another, money in the care, custody, control, management, or possession of a bank, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2113.
