    DAVENPORT, Iowa (Quad-City Times) — A 33-year-old Davenport man on probation until 2023 for breaking the windows of a Davenport Wells Fargo branch in September is facing a robbery charge after he allegedly walked into a Davenport credit union Wednesday and demanded money.

Arnordo Corderrel Turner is charged with one count of second-degree robbery. The charge is a Class C felony under Iowa law that carries a prison sentence of 10 years.

According to a news release issued by Davenport Police, at 3.49 p.m. Wednesday officers were sent to the Ascentra Credit Union, 1800 Brady St., to investigate a robbery.

The investigation showed that a man walked into the credit union and demanded money from an employee. The man left after being given an undisclosed amount of money.

An off-duty officer was in the area at the time of the incident and was able to direct on-duty officers to a possible suspect leaving the scene. Turner was taken into custody without incident.

A news release from Ascentra Credit Union said employees handled that situation effectively and everyone was safe.

Turner was being held Wednesday night in the Scott County Jail on a $10,000 bond, cash or surety.

Turner is currently on probation until Feb. 10, 2023, according to the Iowa Department of Corrections online records.

Turner told officers he had broken several windows out of the Wells Fargo bank because he was frustrated with the justice system.
