FEBRUARY 8, 2001 A New Mexico man who said he was robbing banks to help Zapatista rebels in Mexico was captured by FBI agents on Wednesday. Byron Shane Chubbuck aka "Robin the Hood" was shot in the chest by an FBI agent and was listed in satisfactory condition at University of New Mexico Hospital. Chubbock on December 21 escaped from a prisoner transport van and has been accused of robbing eight banks in the Albuquerque area. Authorities said Chubbock called in to a local radio station and told a DJ that he was robbing the banks to help the Indian rights rebels in Mexico. The radio station aired the interview on Monday. "I was robbing banks to help the Zapatistas in Chiapas, Mexico," said the caller, whom the FBI identified as Chubbock. Get the Story:
