SHERMAN, Texas (AP) - A Dallas man arrested last month in Oklahoma has been indicted in Texas on a bank robbery charge.

Federal prosecutors on Friday announced the indictment of 29-year-old Ryan Christopher Hitchins.

Hitchins was indicted over the June 30 holdup of Texans Credit Union in Plano.

Oklahoma City police on July 8 arrested Hitchins during a traffic stop. A police officer had noticed a vehicle with a damaged windshield and an expired license plate.

The FBI has said Hitchins is under investigation for other holdups in the Dallas area and in Oklahoma.

If convicted, Hitchins faces a maximum 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
