Raymore Man Indicted for Armed Bank Robbery

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Raymore, Mo., man was indicted by a federal grand jury today for the armed robbery of United Missouri Bank in Raymore earlier this month.

Charles O. Jones, 52, of Raymore, was charged with one count of armed bank robbery in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Kansas City, Mo.

Jones allegedly stole $1,330 at gunpoint from United Missouri Bank, 315 S. Dean, Raymore, on April 4, 2016.

Dickinson cautioned that the charge contained in this indictment is simply an accusation, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charge must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Q. McCarther. It was investigated by the FBI and the Raymore, Mo., Police Department.
