An Irvington man appeared in federal court today to face allegations that he robbed three North Jersey banks between January and April 2018, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced.
Officials say Mark Macon, 45, is charged by indictment with three counts of bank robbery. He appeared this afternoon before U.S. District Judge Esther Salas in Newark federal court and was detained.
According to the documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Macon allegedly robbed a TD Bank in Union City on Jan. 13, 2018, a TD Bank in Jersey City on April 19, 2018, and a Chase Bank in Jersey City on April 23, 2018. Macon robbed each location by handing a teller a note stating the bank was being robbed and demanding cash.
Authorities arrested Macon on April 26th and he has been in state custody since that time.
Each bank robbery charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense.
