Jury finds Orr man, 58, guilty in 2018 bank robbery
HIBBING- A jury here has found William Arnold Lindeman, age 58, of Orr, guilty of two counts of first degree aggravated robbery stemming from his 2018 robbery of the American Bank branch office in Orr. Lindeman faced a short trial at the Hibbing Courthouse and the jury rendered its verdict on Sept. 19.
The court set sentencing for Oct. 17, and Lindeman will remain in custody until then at the St. Louis County Jail.
Lindeman robbed the small bank office, located in the Pelican Bay IGA building, shortly before noon on March 14, 2018. Lindemand entered the bank and used pepper spray to disable the two bank employees during the robbery. Afterwards, he fled the bank on an ATV with an undetermined amount of cash. A member of the public had called 911 and reported seeing Lindeman’s ATV enter a property just north of Orr following the robbery. Squads responded to the address and took Lindeman into custody without incident.
The bank employees were treated at the Cook Hospital for pepper spray exposure.
The incident was investigated by the St. Louis Co. Sheriff’s Office with assistance from the FBI. The St. Louis County Attorney’s Office in Hibbing prosecuted the case. Other assisting agencies included the Bois Forte Police, the State Patrol, DNR, U.S. Forest Service, Koochiching County Sheriff’s Office, and Orr Ambulance and First Responders.
