McChesney, Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Jeff Nielsen, Rockford Chief of Police, announced today the arrest of RUFUS A. HALL, age 29, of Rockford, Illinois. HALL was arrested early this morning, without incident, by FBI agents at a residence located at 1801 North Linder in Chicago, Illinois. HALL was charged in a criminal complaint filed in U.S. Northern District Court in Rockford on May 10, 2001, before U.S. Magistrate P. Michael Mahoney, with the May 8, 2001, bank robbery of the Northwest Bank, 3114 North Rockton Avenue in Rockford. HALL is expected to appear in U.S. District Court before U.S. Magistrate Soat-Brown in Chicago later this afternoon. HALL is also expected to appear in front of Magistrate Mahoney in Rockford later this week for further hearings in connection with this charge. Assistant United States Attorney DANIEL OLSON of Rockford will be the prosecutor. The public is reminded that a complaint is not evidence of guilt and that all defendants in a criminal case are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. |
