Former 'Tower Guy' Arrested for Bank Robbery

Tulsa County Booking Photo

32-year-old William Sturdivant is being held in the Tulsa County Jail on $100,000 bond. He was arrested yesterday after the Arvest Bank at 31st and South Mingo was robbed.

No one was injured in the robbery, however, a pregnant woman did suffer a panic attack according to authorities.

If Sturdivant’s name sounds familiar, you may recall he remained perched on a Tulsa TV tower for six days in 2011, while law enforcement tried to talk him down.
