Investigators think Fisher is a suspect in bank robberies in Durango, Colo., on March 26 and Pagosa Springs, Colo., on Tuesday, and in three bank robberies in Arizona earlier this year, the FBI said.
In New Mexico, Fisher allegedly robbed two financial institutions of an undisclosed amount of money after showing tellers a demand note that indicated he had a gun, the FBI said.
Although no weapon was shown in the three Farmington robberies, Colorado tellers reported seeing a gun in both those incidents, the FBI said.
No one was injured in any of the robberies.
Fisher and Norris are being held at the San Juan County jail without bond.
