Jesus Antonio Hernandez

Jesus Antonio Hernandez, 28, has been convicted of robbing a total of five banks in El Paso in two separate sprees.
The amount of money stolen in the robberies was not immediately available.
On Jan. 9, Hernandez was sentenced to more than five years for the robbing of three banks plus a year in prison for failure to appear, FBI spokeswoman Special Agent Andrea Simmons said.
Hernandez had been convicted of two bank robberies and was waiting to start a three-year sentence when he robbed three more banks in September 2006.
In December 2006, Hernandez was caught by Customs and Border Protection officers while trying to return to the U.S. on the Paso del Norte Bridge.
