FARGO (KVRR) – A federal grand jury has indicted a man accused of robbing a downtown Well Fargo Bank on August 1.
Sixty-six year-old Jay Douglas Barker appeared on Friday in U.S. District Court in Fargo.
Barker is charged with one count of felony bank robbery. State charges against Barker were earlier dismissed.
According to court documents, Barker has been ordered to forfeit $10,520.00 stolen during the robbery.
