Even before authorities arrested and charged Bryan E. Carr in Monday's robbery of a Valley Center bank, he was on their radar. And it was not simply because Carr is a parolee with an extensive criminal record. In May, the Kansas Department of Corrections provided authorities an "intelligence bulletin" saying that letters between a prison inmate and Carr discussed robbing a bank when the inmate was released. At the time, Carr, 30, had been released on parole, according to an affidavit filed Tuesday in federal court. The affidavit lays out the trail that led to Carr after the bank robbery: At about 4:30 p.m. Monday, a man entered the back door of Emprise Bank, 100 N. Meridian, in Valley Center and handed a female teller a note saying something like, "This is a robbery, give me all the money in the drawer." Although the teller didn't see a weapon, the robber made a gesture suggesting he had one. The teller gave him some money, and he retrieved the note and left. After the robbery, a Valley Center police detective showed a Park City police officer copies of bank surveillance photographs of the robber. The officer, who had previously been a Butler County sheriff's detention deputy, recognized the robber as a man he had booked into jail several times. The officer could recall only the man's first name: Bryan. The officer contacted a former Butler County sheriff's deputy who had arrested Bryan several times. The former deputy remembered Bryan's last name: Carr. And when the former deputy saw the surveillance photos, "he was one hundred percent certain the robber was Bryan Carr," the affidavit says.
