Wichita man held on federal bank robbery charge
Joyce Richard Courtright, 27, was held on a $15,000 bond for robbing the First National Bank of $9,600 in Wichita. He was arrested in a nearby movie theater 15 minutes after the robbery, which occurred as teller Helen Louise Kruske, 40, reported a man threatened her with a nitroglycerin bottle, took the cash, and triggered an alarm. The seized funds totaled $9,600. Courtright, who said he lived in Newton and previously in McDonald, is married with four children. A separate $7,030 bank robbery two weeks earlier remains unsolved.
