MADISON, WIS. – Scott C. Blader, United States Attorney for
the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Jeffrey Campton, 30, Elkhorn,
Wisconsin, was sentenced on August 2 by U.S. District Judge William Conley to
seven years in federal prison for robbing three banks in Madison in 2018.
On June 3, 2019, Campton pleaded guilty to robbing Home
Savings Bank on East Washington Avenue on September 4, 2018, and stipulated to
robbing the Cottage Grove Road Associated Bank on August 25, 2018, and the West
Broadway Street Associated Bank on August 31, 2018.
Campton had just been released from Wisconsin state prison
on June 7, 2018, after completing the Earned Release Program, an intensive
substance abuse treatment program. Judge
Conley noted that this program had no impact on Campton’s return to drug use
and subsequent string of bank robberies that terrorized the victims. Judge Conley found Campton’s actions
outrageous and warned him that if he does not clean up his act when released
from this sentence, he will be going back to federal prison. Campton was also ordered to pay restitution.
The charge against Campton was the result of an
investigation conducted by the Madison Police Department and Federal Bureau of
Investigation. The prosecution of the
case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Corey Stephan.
