A Knoxville man is facing federal charges for his alleged involvement in a recent bank robbery at a Suntrust Bank branch in Knoxville.
Mark A. Stallings, 58, of Strawberry Plains, Tennessee, was arrested on Tuesday, March 13, 2018, for the March 5, 2018, robbery of the Suntrust Bank on Andrew Johnson Highway in Knoxville.
According to the criminal complaint and supporting affidavit on file with the U.S. District Court, Stallings entered the Suntrust Bank and passed a note to the teller demanding money.
The arrest of Stallings is the result of the joint efforts of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, comprised of the FBI, Knoxville Police Department, Knox County Sheriff’s Office, and Knox County Major Crimes Unit.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kelly A. Norris will represent the United States in court proceedings.
Members of the public are reminded that an indictment constitutes only charges and that every person is presumed innocent until his or her guilt has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Stallings appeared before the Honorable Dennis H. Inman, U.S. Magistrate Judge on March 14, 2018, and will remain in custody pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for March 21, 2018.
