(CBS/AP) OAK LAWN, Ill. - After a standoff that lasted more than 10 hours, police in Oak Lawn and the FBI say they arrested a bank robber - after getting him out of a ceiling air duct.
Authorities say the wig-wearing robber was found hours later wedged so tight in an air duct that he had to be cut free.
Police say 38-year-old Charles Estell was located early Sunday. The FBI alleges he robbed a suburban Chicago bank Saturday, confronting bank employees with a gun and stuffing $100,000 in a backpack.
Authorities spent hours looking for him and located him
