Authorities said he will likely be charged with robbing the Wachovia Bank in Jacksonville last Friday, as well at least two other holdups.
St. Johns County detectives said similarities in appearance and disguise seen in security-camera images from at least two of the robberies led to cooperation with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office robbery unit. Working together, they identified Gebert as a suspect.
Deputies said Gebert was in possession of several pipes known for illegal drug use, along with several baggies containing drug residue.
In addition to the robbery charge in St. Johns County, Gebert was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia in Jacksonville.
