Wisconsin Man Charged with Robbing Three Banks in Cedar Rapids

Jeffrey Haydock, 57, from Watertown, Wisconsin, has been charged with three counts of bank robbery. The charges are contained in an indictment filed on April 23, 2014, in United States District Court in Cedar Rapids.

The indictment alleges that, on or about July 30, 2009, and again on or about November 12, 2009, Haydock robbed the First Federal Credit Union in Cedar Rapids. The indictment also alleges that, on or about February 17, 2010, Haydock robbed the Linn Area Credit Union in Cedar Rapids.

If convicted on all charges, Haydock faces a possible maximum sentence of 75 years’ imprisonment, a $750,000 fine, $300 in special assessments, and 15 years of supervised release following any imprisonment.­

Haydock appeared today in federal court in Cedar Rapids and was held without bond. Haydock’s next appearance for trial is set for July 21, 2014.

As with any criminal case, a charge is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Anthony Morfitt and was investigated by the Cedar Rapids Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
