NEWPORT NEWS — A 48-year-old Newport News man was charged Thursday for robbing the Virginia Educators Credit Union twice this year, according to police.
Daniel Donaldson Jones entered the credit union just before 10 a.m. with a rifle and demanded money, police said. Police spokesman Lou Thurston said Jones was arrested after police received several calls from the public, including one call before noon that led police to a location near the bank where they found Jones. Jones was charged in connection with both Thursday's robbery and a Jan. 15 robbery at the same location, Thurston said.
Jones is charged with two counts each of robbery, wearing a mask in public, carrying a concealed weapon and entering a bank while armed, and four counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Banks aren't on the list of prohibted places where one may go armed. Does anyone know the basis for this charge?
