MADISON, WI—John W. Vaudreuil, United
States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Richard
B. Hindes, 32, Baraboo, Wisconsin, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge
William C. Conley to 15 years in prison for armed bank robbery. Hindes pleaded
guilty to this charge on April 12, 2012.
On June 16, 2011, Hindes robbed the
Wells Fargo Bank in Baraboo. During the robbery, Hindes pointed a gun at two
separate tellers. He then fled in a stolen vehicle and was arrested two days
later in a Milwaukee suburb. In sentencing Hindes to a lengthy prison term,
Judge Conley noted that Hindes has been committing violent acts for almost half
of his life and is a dangerous person.
The charges against Hindes were the
result of an investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Baraboo
Police Department, and West Allis Police Department. The prosecution of the
case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura Przybylinski Finn.
