How Did They Identify Him?

Augusta Police Deputy Chief Kevin Lully says local authorities have been working with the Federal Bureau of Investigations to identify the suspect, including the release of surveillance video images of the robber to the public, in hopes that someone would recognize him, despite the mask.

Once they identified Brougham, authorities found him Wednesday on Eastern Avenue in Augusta and took him into custody.

Brougham is being held at the Kennebec County Jail, with no bail allowed.
