Danville man charged in three bank robberies
A Danville man who was arrested Friday night in connection with a bank robbery in Clark County is also being charged in two other bank robberies in Indiana last week.
Twenty-two year old David Rangel Jr. was arrested on Friday in connection with the robbery of the First Neighbor Bank in Casey in Clark County last Thursday.
Rangel is being held on $200,000 bond.
He was injured by a police service dog but was treated and released from a local hospital.
Indiana State Police Detective Jim Cody says Rangel is also connected to the robbery of a bank in Covington, Indiana, and an attempted robbery of a bank in Crawfordsville, Indiana, last Tuesday.
Cody says a description of Rangel by bank employees and surveillance footage of one of the robberies played a role in his arrest.
Hear from Jim Cody.
- Cody talks about the bank robberies in Danville.
Cody says Rangel did not display a weapon during any of the three robberies, but he says Rangel did hand bank tellers a note at each location with implied threat to it. Cody did not disclose what the notes said.
He says evidence was recovered at Rangel's mother's house, along with the vehicle authorities believe he used in the robberies.
Cody says several law enforcement agencies from Indiana and Illinois worked together on the cases.
