Miami attorney arrested as serial bank robbery suspect

MIAMI _ A Miami attorney was called a "serial bank robber" by the FBI, which believes he robbed five banks since Sept. 30 before his Tuesday night arrest.

The agency said Miami resident Aaron Honaker, 41, was headed into a bank when Coral Gables police arrested him.

While the FBI didn't name where Honaker was arrested or if it believed that branch was about to be robbery No. 6, it did list what it alleges were Honaker's previous five stops:

_ Sept. 30 _ Citibank, 396 Alhambra Cir., Coral Gables

_ Oct. 3 _ Chase, 20880 Biscayne Blvd., Aventura

_ Oct. 5 _ Wells Fargo, 2555 Ponce De Leon Blvd., Coral Gables

_ Oct. 10 _ Chase, 355 Alhambra Cir., Coral Gables;

_ Thursday _ HSBC, 2222 Ponce De Leon Blvd., Coral Gables

The FBI releases describing the thefts on Sept. 30, Oct. 5 and Thursday stated the robber demanded money from the tellers. No weapon was mentioned.

Honaker's Florida Bar entry says he's with the Coral Gables-based firm of Martinez Morales, but a Wednesday afternoon email to the Miami Herald from name partner Raul Morales said Honaker disappeared two years ago and never returned to work. Morales said he's since tried to get his firm's name removed from Honaker's Bar profile.

Court documents and other databases say before Martinez Morales, Honaker worked at Greenberg Traurig more than nine years ago and Bilzen Sumberg. In 2012, he was one of the first attorneys at newly formed Salazar Jackson, now named Salazar Law.

His Bar entry says he joined the Bar in 2008, two years after graduating from Duke University School of Law.
