Illinois Man Charged with Robbing Credit Union

URBANA, Ill. - A grand jury returned an indictment on August 6, 2024, charging Troy D. Burke, 41, with robbing the Community Plus Federal Credit Union in Rantoul, Illinois, on June 20, 2024.

Burke was arrested in Rantoul on June 20, 2024, by officers of the Rantoul Police Department and has remained in the custody of law enforcement since that date. He was initially charged by the Champaign County State's Attorney's Office and later charged by federal complaint.

If convicted, the maximum statutory penalties for the crime charged are up to 20 years of imprisonment, up to a $250,000 fine, and up to three years of supervised release.

Agencies participating in the investigation include the Rantoul Police Department; the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Springfield Field Office; and the Champaign County State's Attorney's Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney William J. Lynch is representing the government in the prosecution.

The public is reminded that an indictment is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
