Brothers Accused Of Robbing Forney Bank Twice
DALLAS (AP) - Two brothers have been charged with robbing the same North Texas bank twice.
Federal prosecutors in Dallas on Wednesday announced the indictment of 43-year-old James Robert Cleveland Butler and 45-year-old Johnny Charles Butler.
The siblings allegedly held up a Bank of America branch in Forney last Nov. 25 and again on May 18. Both were arrested following an Aug. 2 standoff at their home in Quinlan, about 25 miles northeast of Forney.
Each brother faces two counts of armed bank robbery and one count of possessing a firearm during a violent crime.
Johnny Butler is also charged with assault on a federal officer and discharging a firearm during a crime. Prosecutors say gunfire came from within the Butler home during the standoff. Johnny Butler was wounded before the pair surrendered.
