MACON, Ga. _Testimony began this week in the federal trial of a Warner Robins man who allegedly stood on the Comedy Cafe stage earlier this year and confessed to being the "bicycle bandit."

Glenn Matthews, 43, is accused of robbing three Mercer University Drive banks since December 1999 _ each time leaving the scene on a red bicycle that is now marked government's Exhibit No. 6.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Harry J. Fox Jr. told jurors he expected to prove that "Glenn Matthews is indeed the bicycle bandit who committed the three armed robberies here in Macon."

Matthews was arrested Jan. 12 after allegedly telling a sold-out Comedy Club crowd that he was the guy who had been robbing banks.
