WICHITA, Kan. — A Hutchinson man is facing federal charges stemming from a March 8 holdup of a Wichita credit union.
A federal indictment was handed down against 32-year-old Jerry Anderson Jr. in U.S. District Court. The indictment states that Anderson Jr. entered the Meritrust Credit Union at 2900 S. Oliver in Wichita just after 11 a.m. where he passed a note to one of the tellers stating, “This is a robbery, nothing funny, give me the money.”

The affidavit also states that still photography from cameras were matched against a Department of Corrections Supervised Population photo showing Anderson as the alleged robber. Anderson Jr. was released from prison in July of last year after serving a sentence for aggravated robbery and flee and elude in Leavenworth County.
Anderson faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
