WILSON, N.C. — Police in Greenville say they have apprehended a Wilson man wanted for questioning in the deaths of two South Carolina bank employees, according to WITN.

Conway, S.C., police had identified Brandon Michael Council, 32, of Wilson, as a person of interest in the robbery.

Greenville Police Chief Mark Holtzman said someone saw Council driving on South Memorial Drive. An officer pulled the car over, but Council fled on foot. He was caught by officers a short time later, according to Holtzman.

Two people who were with Council at the time have been detained, the chief said.

Conway, S.C., police are trying to locate the man who held up a bank there on Aug. 21, 2017, and killed two bank employees.

The CresCom Bank branch at 1230 16th Ave. in Conway was held up Monday afternoon, and two bank employees were killed, police said. The employees were identified as branch manager Kathryn "Katie" Skeen, 36, of Green Sea, S.C., and Donna Major, 59, of Conway.

Council already faces a felony common law robbery charge in the Aug. 11 holdup of a BB&T branch at 1604 S. Tarboro St. in Wilson. No one was hurt in that robbery.
