KANSAS CITY, Mo. - An Ottawa, Kansas, man was indicted by a federal grand jury today for the armed robbery of a Mound City, Mo., bank.

Marvin J. McWhorter III, 41, was charged in a two-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Kansas City, Mo. McWhorter is charged with one count of bank robbery and one count of using, carrying, and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.
