CEDAR RAPIDS – A convicted bank robber who left a community corrections center in northeast Iowa about a month ago appeared before a federal judge Friday in North Dakota.
Edward H. Corey, appeared before Judge Ralph Erickson in a Fargo, N.D., courtroom. No more information about the proceeding was made available by the clerk of court there.
A Friday story in the Daily News (N.D.) reported that Corey was arrested in connection to a Monday bank robbery in Nebraska.
Earlier in the week, the South Sioux City (Neb.) Police Chief Scott Ford said he wanted to question Corey about the incident, according to a story in the Sioux City Journal. Ford said Corey matched a description of a man who had walked away from an Iowa halfway house.
Back in 2004, Corey, who also goes by the name James Allen Reed, was charged with escaping from custody of the Gerald R. Hinzman Center in Cedar Rapids, according to federal court records.
Corey’ s criminal history includes several charges and convictions for thefts and robberies, as well as other escapes.
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons Web page shows Corey is now at a community correctional facility in Kansas City, Kan.
Attempts were made Friday to contact officials at the U.S. Probation Office for the Northern District of Iowa, the Clerk of the U.S. District Court of North Dakota, the U.S. Marshals Service, the South Sioux City Police Department, and the Gerald R. Hinzman Center. None were immediately successful.
