YORK COUNTY, Neb. (KOLN) – A convicted serial bank robber has been charged in another robbery that occurred earlier this month in Bradshaw.
The York County Sheriff’s Department said a multi-agency search warrant was executed in Grand Island on April 8, leading to the arrest of Jason McCain, 46, of Grand Island.

Authorities say McCain entered the Cornerstone Bank branch around 8 a.m. on April 1, approached employees and demanded an undisclosed amount of cash.
During the robbery, officials say a bank employee suffered a non-life-threatening head injury and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Court documents show McCain was charged with three felony counts and two misdemeanors, including third-degree assault, false imprisonment, robbery, theft by unlawful taking and unauthorized use of a propelled vehicle.
His bond has been set at 10% of $1 million, and his first appearance is scheduled for Wednesday at 11 a.m.
The sheriff’s office said investigators are still looking into a possible connection between the April 1 robbery and a burglary at the same bank branch in early February.
Officials also said they have confirmed no personal or banking information was jeopardized during the incident.
McCain has a lengthy history of bank robberies. Between 2007 and 2009, he robbed five financial institutions in the Omaha metro area and was sentenced to federal prison.
After his release, authorities say he robbed a Lincoln bank twice in 2017, leading to another federal conviction and a seven-year prison sentence in 2018.
