Elizabeth Wilson of the federal public defender's office confirmed Wednesday that Michael Francis Mara will plead guilty, but would not discuss details of the case.
Mara, who is suspected in 25 bank robberies in 13 states, is charged with two robberies in Virginia and has apparently agreed to plead guilty in Richmond to four robberies in Alabama and one in Arkansas.
The stocky, balding Louisiana man with graying hair was captured at his home in Baton Rouge Aug. 11 after the FBI and police received a tip from someone who identified Mara as the "Granddad Bandit" and gave authorities photographs to match bank surveillance videos.
