INDIANAPOLIS— A 25 yr old Indianapolis man was charged with bank robbery, following an investigation by the Safe Streets Task Force of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The complaint alleges that Leon Fuller used a firearm to rob the Teachers Credit Union branch located at 5130 West 71st Street, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana, on both January 5, 2010 and again on February 24, 2010.

Law enforcement agents approached Fuller as he walked out of his apartment complex about ninety minutes after the second robbery. Fuller was allegedly wearing clothes similar to those worn by the robber. Once stopped, officers noticed a large bulge in Fuller’s pocket. The bulge was a large amount of currency. Purportedly, some of that currency contained serial numbers that matched serial numbers of the money taken from the Credit Union earlier that day. According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Bradley P. Shepard, who is prosecuting the case for the government, Fuller faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count. An initial hearing will be scheduled for today before a U.S. Magistrate Judge Kennard P. Foster. A detention hearing will be held sometime next week.

A complaint 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.

The charge alleges that Rebecka A. Fee was appointed clerk-treasurer of the Town of Brownstown, Ind., in January 2000. As part of her job responsibilities, Fee processed the payroll for all Brownstown employees, including herself. Beginning in January, 2006 and continuing through October, 2009, Fee caused the town payroll checks which were payable to her to be inflated, and then cashed the checks retaining the excess proceeds. The alleged scheme was executed on 121 separate occasions and resulted in a loss to the Town of Brownstown of more than $369,000.

Fee’s scheme was discovered as the result of an Indiana State Board of Accounts audit which commenced on October 1, 2009. Fee was suspended as clerk-treasurer on October 19, 2009, based upon preliminary information revealed in the audit.

According to Assistant U.S. Attorney James M. Warden, who is prosecuting the case for the government, Fee faces a maximum of 30 years in prison and a $1,000,000 fine. An initial hearing will be scheduled before a U.S. Magistrate Judge.
