In just two weeks, Bishop Police, with the aid of many other local law enforcement agencies, have zeroed in on the prime suspect for the Bishop Chase Bank robbery on March 17th. Bishop Police Chief Kathleen Sheehan has scheduled a news conference for Friday.

Police Lieutenant Chris Carter said the Chief will offer more details Friday, but he said that an armed robbery warrant has gone out on 49-year-old Steven Craig Wiswell of Benton in Mono County. It is believe both Inyo and Mono law enforcement were instrumental in this development.
