Man charged with robbing bank, gas station is indicted

GOSHEN – An Orange County grand jury Monday indicted a Newburgh man on charges that he held up a credit union and a gas station, both on the same day early in June.

District Attorney Frank Phillips said Kenneth Kelsey, 21, faces charges from two incidents on the same day.

It is alleged that that he held up the Winona Lake Xtra Mart with what appeared to be a handgun and also on the same day, June 4, the Hudson Heritage Federal Credit Union in Washingtonville. In that robbery, he also produced what appeared to be a handgun.

Kelsey was arrested later that day after a joint investigation by Washingtonville Village Police, Town of Newburgh Police and State Police and charged with second-degree robbery.

He is being held in the Orange County Jail without bail.
