Javon Dockery, Bank Robbery, Iowa 2014

Cedar Rapids Man Charged with Committing Four Robberies at Two Different Cedar Rapids Banks

A 29-year-old man from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has been indicted on four counts of bank robbery and one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.

Javon Dockery, age 29, was charged in a superseding indictment filed on August 13, 2014, in United States District Court in Cedar Rapids.

Dockery and Bria Daudinot, age 21, had previously been charged with one count of bank robbery. However, the superseding indictment brings the total number of robberies charged against Dockery to four, with no new charges brought against Daudinot.

The superseding indictment alleges that Dockery robbed the 16th Avenue branch of the US Bank in Cedar Rapids on April 30, 2014, and robbed the Bever Avenue branch of the Guaranty Bank in Cedar Rapids on May 16 and May 29, 2014.

Dockery is also accused of possessing and brandishing a firearm during the June 26, 2014, robbery of the 16th Avenue branch of the US Bank in Cedar Rapids, which he allegedly committed with the aid of Bria Daudinot.

If convicted on all charges, Dockery faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 7 years' imprisonment and a possible maximum sentence of life imprisonment, a $1,250,000 fine, a $500 special assessment, and up to 17 years on supervised release following any imprisonment.

Dockery and Daudinot are both being held without bond. Their next appearance for trial is set for September 22, 2014.

As with any criminal case, a charge is merely an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mark Tremmel and was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Cedar Rapids Police Department, and the Sixth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services.
