A United States Grand Jury sitting in Benton returned an indictment against 37-year old Easter Jimison of Collinsville, Illinois, charging her with three counts of Bank Burglary, said Stephen R. Wigginton, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois.  The offenses charged in the indictment allege that on November 7, 2014, Jimison entered First Collinsville Bank in Caseyville, Illinois, and handed the teller a note which read “put the money in a bag.  Act normal.  Don’t look around.”  The bank teller placed stacks of bills on the counter until Jimison said “that’s enough,” then she put the money inside of her coat and walked out the front door of the bank.  As a result, the FCB Caseyville Branch suffered a loss of $4,621.  On Monday, Jimison was charged with walking into the Bank of Edwardsville in Swansea, Illinois, and displaying a demand note to a bank teller which read “give me the money, this is not a joke.”  The bank teller promptly gathered the money from her drawer and placed it on the counter.  Jimison then stated that she was unable to go through with the robbery and began to apologize and make excuses stating that she needed the money for rent.  On December 10, 2014, Jimison is alleged to have arrived at First Collinsville Bank in Maryville, Illinois in Madison County where she unfolded a note to the teller which stated “act normal” and “withdrawal.”  The bank teller promptly complied with the demand note and handed Jimison $1,144.00.  Jimison then left the bank taking the money and the demand note with her.  If convicted, she faces a term in prison of up to 20 years on each count of Bank Burglary and a $250,000 fine.
