According to court documents, on June 7, 2024, Korey Maurese Hale, 25, brandished a Mossberg 715T .22 caliber rifle while robbing a drug store. The next day, on June 8, 2024, Hale brandished the same firearm while robbing a bank.
For his conduct, Hale is charged with one count of Hobbs Act robbery, one count of armed bank robbery, and two counts of brandishing a firearm during a bank robbery. He made his initial appearance on December 3, 2024, in U.S. District Court before Magistrate Judge Dulce J. Foster.
This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the FBI, the Minneapolis Police Department, and the St. Paul Police Department.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew D. Forbes is prosecuting the case.
An indictment is merely an allegation and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
