LAKE WORTH, Fla. —A man wanted in connection with a bank robbery on Thursday in Lake Worth was shot early Sunday morning by Palm Beach County deputies.You would think an incident at "the Atlantis Shopping Plaza" would be the giveaway that you're not in Lake Worth but not for ABC25. They remain clueless as to municipal boundaries vs. unincorporated Palm Beach County (or suburban Lake Worth).
Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said James Goad went on a crime spree in the days leading up to Sunday's shooting.
Goad is suspected of robbing a bank in Lake Worth on Thursday. He is also accused of robbing a convenience store, a pizza parlor and just prior to Sunday's shooting, he was allegedly involved in an armed carjacking.
Officials said Goad was involved in a chase Sunday morning with deputies that ended in the Atlantis Shopping Plaza.
