Johnny Madison Williams Jr.

Johnny Madison "The Shootist" Williams Jr. (born January 19, 1951) is one of the most successful bank robbers in American history. After his arrest on July 9, 1994, Williams confessed to robbing 56 banks across the states of California, Texas, and Washington over an eight-year period, often with the help of his wife, Carolyn. Williams kept a meticulous record of his heists, reporting his career total as $879,357. By the time of his apprehension, the FBI were not even aware of 8 of his robberies. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, in the course of tracking Williams, had nicknamed him "The Shootist" after the film by the same name starring John Wayne because of his habit of firing shots into the air at the beginning of each robbery.
Performance art was a large part of Williams' method. His method of firing into the air caused people to avoid eye contact, so authorities had a hard time getting a description of Williams' appearance. The gunshots, in addition to cursing and yelling, provoked a sense of terror, ensuring the teller and customers' compliance.〔
Williams put a great amount of forethought into each robbery. He would sometimes survey a target for weeks or years, planning out contingencies and escape routes. On several occasions, Williams took a shortcut though shrubbery and then concealed the passage behind foliage. He was described by a spokesman for the San Jose police department as "by far the most calculating and surgical bank robber in the past second half of the 20th century."〔 It is unusual for bank robberies to be well thought out, as they are usually crimes of opportunity.〔
Williams was sentenced to a prison term of 92 years for only 12 counts of bank robbery because of the expired statute of limitations for the earlier episodes.〔
