Anchorage Man Arrested and Indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for Committing Four Bank Robberies

ANCHORAGE—United States Attorney Karen L. Loeffler announced today that an Anchorage man was indicted by a federal grand jury in Anchorage for bank robbery.

The four-count indictment names Dennis Dale Hubble, Jr., 38, of Anchorage, Alaska, as the sole defendant. Hubble was arrested on March 16, 2011, at Al’s Alaskan Inn, in Anchorage. He appeared in federal court on March 17, 2011, where he was arraigned before United States Magistrate Judge John Roberts.

According to the indictment, Hubble is charged with robbing a branch of Wells Fargo Bank on November 15, 2010; a branch of Denali Alaskan Federal Credit Union on November 23, 2010; a Wells Fargo Bank branch on January 7, 2011; and a branch of Alaska USA Federal Credit Union this past Sunday, March 13, 2011. All branches are located in Anchorage.

According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Bradley, who presented the case to the grand jury, Hubble is facing 20 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, and five years of supervised release, for each count of bank robbery. Hubble will be incarcerated while pending trial.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation Safe Streets Task Force, comprised of FBI agents and APD officers, conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
