posted (March 2, 2012)
And as we told you in that story two men have been detained. They are from the Darren Banks crew in the Lake Independence area. One more man who is wanted is Brandon Battery Smith.

This morning, he told us that police want him for the robbery - and he knows the people who did it - but was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The police saw him near the drug store - across from the Bank while the robbery was occurring so now he is a wanted man. Today he told us via cell phone that he's lying low until Monday:..

Brandon "Battery" Smith - Via Telephone
"I don't want to go because they already sent me to jail innocently for a murder. I know that they are always taking advantage of me. I was going to give up myself, but today is Friday. So, I am not on that either."

"Were you in the area at the time of the bank robbery?"

Brandon Smith
"I was in the area. I was across the street. I went to the drugstore, and I was buying."

Jules Vasquez
"So you are saying that you were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time?"

Brandon Smith
"Yes, but they don't see it so."

Jules Vasquez
"Did you have any involvement with those persons who robbed the bank?"

Brandon Smith
"I know them, but that doesn't mean anything, Every man does their own thing."

Jules Vasquez
"Are they people that you used to associate/have associated with, who are in any crew that you link with?"

Brandon Smith
"Well, when I see them, I still stop and talk to them. We are friends."

Jules Vasquez
"Did you have any knowledge that they were going on a bank robbery?"

Brandon Smith
"If I knew that, you think that I would go across there to buy?"

Smith recently got off a murder charge...
