Charges were expected today against a Forest man suspected of robbing BancorpSouth at Indiana Avenue and South Frontage Road Thursday.

Vicksburg police investigators questioned Timothy Gandy, 41, at the Veto Street headquarters most of the day Tuesday, Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

Stewart confirmed information broadcast shortly after the robbery that Gandy is a former law enforcement officer on three forces, including a stint with the Biloxi department during a time when Tommy Moffett, Vicksburg’s seven-year chief, was police chief in the coast city. He also previously was employed by Jackson police and the Jefferson Parish (La.) Sheriff’s Office.

Gandy was arrested Friday night by Hattiesburg police and Mississippi Bureau of Investigations agents at a Hattiesburg hotel. Police said his most recent driver’s license listed 11352 Mississippi 21, Forest, as his address but a resident of the home said he has not lived there in years.

Gandy also is suspected of robbing a BancorpSouth branch in Hattiesburg a week ago.

The Vicksburg bank robbery was the fourth of the year for Warren County, three inside the city
