Martin C. Carlson, Acting United States Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, announced today that a Federal Grand Jury sitting in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has returned an indictment against Marqus Anthony Stahl, age 26, of Yeagertown, Pennsylvania, charging him with three counts of bank robbery.

-Mifflin County Savings Bank, Belleville, Pennsylvania;
-Juniata Valley Bank, Mifflintown, Pennsylvania; and
-Fulton Bank, New Cumberland, Pennsylvania

If convicted, Stahl faces up to 60 years’ imprisonment and fines of $750,000.

This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Pennsylvania State Police; Fairview Township Police Department; and the Mifflin County Regional Police Department.
