Tuesday, December 24th, 2024 -- 1:00 PM

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department has announced the arrest of an individual allegedly involved in two bank robberies.

On January 3rd of 2019, around 1:10pm, a robbery was reported at the Jackson County Bank in the Village of Alma Center. The suspect was reported to be a white female and a clothing description was provided.

The suspect fled on foot and was not located in the area. In November of 2018, the Jackson County Motor Branch in the City of Black River Falls was also robbed in a similar fashion.

The suspect has similar behaviors and descriptors. Detectives from the Sheriff’s Office followed new leads in the case which led them to a person of interest.

Further information and evidence tied the suspect to both robberies. The woman in question was located in Taylor County. The subject was identified as 26-year-old Michaela Davis of Medford. Davis was arrested for the bank robbery and booked into the Jackson County Jail.

The Jackson County District Attorney’s Office has filed formal charges against Davis for her involvement. The Sheriff’s Department was assisted by the Marshfield Police Department, Medford Police Department, and the Wood County Sheriff’s Department.

At this time, Davis retains her presumption of innocence until adjudicated otherwise in a court of law. The case is still under investigation and no further information will be released at this time.
