James Jacobs

James Raymond Jacobs, 30, entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Mobile. He stands accused of stealing $2,298 during an Aug. 9 stickup of the RBC Bank on Government Street.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Katherine “Kit” Nelson set a November trial date.
According to Mobile police, the Morrisville, Pa., man handed a teller a note saying he was armed and demanding money.
The robber left the bank in a gray Dodge pickup truck, police said.
Mobile police arrested him after a car chase that ended when the truck Jacobs was driving clipped a minivan and overturned in front of The Home Depot on Montlimar Drive.
Police said Jacobs had failed to report to a halfway house after his release from a Pennsylvania prison. He was driving his stepfather’s truck, according to police.
