KANSAS CITY, KAN. – Two Kansas City men were indicted Wednesday on a federal bank robbery charge, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.

Dale Williamson, 34, Kansas City, Mo., and Robert Robinson, 40, Kansas City, Mo., were charged with one of count bank robbery in connection with the May 22, 2014, robbery of the Bank of America, 15811 Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park, Kan.

The men initially were charged in a criminal complaint filed June 14 in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan. It is alleged that Robinson, wearing a baseball cap and a hoodie, walked into the bank holding a cellular telephone to his ear. He showed a clerk a note saying, “I have a gun. I will kill you.” He tucked the money from the robbery into a folder and walked out of the bank.

After investigators released surveillance photos from the robbery, they identified Robinson as the bank robber and Williamson as an accomplice who planned the robbery and drove the getaway car.

If convicted, they face a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000. The FBI and the Overland Park Police Dept. investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jabari Wamble is prosecuting .
