The FBI recovered a scratch off lottery ticket from the bank that had fallen out of robber's pocket. The ticket was traced to a gas station in Rolling Meadows where it had been purchased and then to a convenience store in Deer Park where it had been redeemed. Authorities put out a notice with a description of the subject and the vehicle he was driving, which was determined from surveillance video.
Riley was taken into custody after he was pulled over for a traffic stop in Arlington Heights Tuesday night, police said.
