Wall Lake woman charged with robbery
Roxena Lee Schoon, 39, of Wall Lake has been charged with one count of bank robbery. The charges are contained in a complaint filed on June 5 in United States District Court in Sioux City.
The complaint alleges that, on or about March 23, Schoon robbed the Heritage Bank in Lytton.
According to the FBI complaint, Jeffrey Schoon and Roxena Schoon were linked to four robberies in Sac and Crawford Counties after a $20 bill from one of the banks was found in a search of their home on March 29. Latex gloves, surgical masks and a blue hooded sweatshirt also were found in Roxena Schoon’s Dodge Stratus.
A man who the FBI believes is Jeffrey Schoon wore latex gloves, a surgical mask and a blue hooded sweatshirt in each robbery, according to the documents. After leaving the banks, the man got into the trunk of a Ford Taurus or Dodge Stratus driven by a woman who the FBI believes is Roxena Schoon.
According to documents, Jeffrey Schoon’s daughter told the FBI about the robberies and said her father married Roxena Schoon at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas on Feb. 1 because he said wives can’t testify against their husbands.
The robberies occurred at Iowa State Bank in Odebolt on Dec. 29; Citizens First National Bank in Early on Jan. 11; Westside Bank in Vail on Jan. 28; and Heritage Bank in Lytton on March 23.
If convicted, Schoon faces a possible maximum sentence of 20 years’ imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, a $100 special assessment and three years of supervised release following any imprisonment.
Schoon appeared on June 5 in federal court in Sioux City and was held without bond. Schoon’s next appearance for a preliminary hearing is set for June 19.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Forde Fairchild and was investigated by Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Sac County Sheriff’s Office.
