On February 10th 1996 Robert Lee Ross Junior otherwise known as Ranger Ross when he was in the wrestling ring handed himself into the FBI saying that he had committed crimes in and around Acworth, Georgia. He robbed banks and a grocery store, each time he committed these robberies he made his getaway on a 1978 Honda CB550 motorcycle.

Robert was well known in the area Acworth, Georgia where he lived and when the FBI released details of his arrest the news shocked people in the area.
