That\u2019s according to KETK and their news partner NBC DFW. According to Richardson police, Steven Ray Milam, 44, of Tyler, was arrested in Jackson County, Miss., after a pursuit at about 10 a.m. Officers in Mississippi said the pursuit began after officers ran the vehicle\u2019s license plate and determined the owner was a wanted man out of Texas. The driver refused to stop so Mississippi officers shot out his tire. Once the car rolled to a stop, officers said the driver of the car tried to consume a large amount of pills. Officers identified the driver as Milam and notified Richardson authorities. Milam is currently being treated for the ingestion of the pills.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities have dubbed the robber the \u201cHandsome Guy\u201d bandit because he uses sophisticated Hollywood make-up style masks to cover his face. Milam is the owner of a discount funeral business called \u201cMonumental Memorials.\u201d On Monday, authorities searched his Tyler home in the 700 block of Hampton Hill. According to KETK-TV\u2019s sister station, KXAS, Richardson Police have identified Milam as the suspect in a robbery last Saturday in Richardson.

Authorities are said to have recovered his detailed mask, clothes, gun and car. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RICHARDSON \u2014 The Handsome Guy Bandit, the armed man who police say has robbed more than a dozen North Texas banks, has been caught, officials said Tuesday morning.
