A 42-year-old Davenport man named Antoinne Davis has been charged with federal robbery charges after allegedly robbing an Iowa City bank last month. Davis is accused of entering the Hills Bank branch on Muscatine Avenue with his face covered, wearing gloves, and demanding cash from tellers. He reportedly took money from a customer's counter as well, making off with a total of $14,676. Police executed a search warrant on Davis' home and found large sums of cash as well as clothing matching the robbery suspect's description. Davis allegedly admitted to the crime in order to repay a debt.
Why it matters
This case highlights the growing trend of repeat federal offenders committing brazen bank robberies, even while on probation for prior convictions. The incident raises concerns about the effectiveness of the criminal justice system in deterring and preventing such crimes, especially in the Quad Cities region which has seen an uptick in bank robberies in recent years.

He allegedly told two different tellers to give him cash, and also took money from a customer's counter, stealing a total of $14,676. A search of Davis' home reportedly turned up large sums of cash as well as the clothing he was seen wearing in surveillance footage of the robbery. Davis has two previous federal robbery convictions and was still on probation for one of them at the time of the latest incident.
- The robbery occurred on the morning of January 9, 2026.
