Bank Robber Admits Rhode Island Crimes

A Massachusetts man, Joseph Hickson, 42, just confessed to robbing two Rhode Island banks — a TD Bank in Cranston and a Washington Trust in East Providence — in 2019, while also facing federal charges tied to a prior robbery in Franklin, MA. Authorities caught him at a Foxborough casino in May 2019, where they found damning evidence linking him to the crimes. Already serving time for the Franklin job, Hickson now faces federal sentencing on September 15 — a case that underscores how state and federal agencies collaborate to close the net on cross-state criminals.
