Rochester police say a standoff with a wanted man on Rochester’s west side last night involved a man wanted for three Rochester-area bank robberies.
Terrick Ficklin was identified through an investigation by the Rochester Area Major Crime Task Force. U.S. Marshals, federal and local investigators tracked Ficklin to a house on Pierpont Street off Driving Park Avenue. Ficklin barricaded himself inside the house when the task force showed up and threatened that he had a gun. A woman was inside the house with him.
Ficklin and the woman agreed to come out and surrender with the woman after about two hours. She wasn’t harmed, and a search of the house found no gun.
Ficklin has been charged with robbery and grand larceny for robberies at the M&T Bank downtown and the Canandaigua National Bank on Alexander Street last month. He’s charged with attempted bank robbery by Irondequoit Police for a failed holdup attempt at the Chase Bank on East Ridge Road.
He had been released from prison 11 days before the robberies began.
