ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) - A 37-year-old man is lodged in the Winnebago County jail this week after police say he tried to rob a local bank.
Dion Dixon was arrested Sept. 12 after he walked into a Rockford Municipal Employee Credit Union and produced a note that demanded money.
Authorities say Dixon left the credit union after his demand was not met, and walked to a nearby Associated Bank.
This is not Dixon’s first attempt at theft or robbery. According to court records, Dixon was arrested in October 2018 for a similar crime, and while lodged in the jail, charged with aggravated battery of a corrections officer in September 2019.
Dixon is being held without bond on a hold with the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
