if it wasn t for me, if jeremiah had had his way, he probably would have shot instead of getting arrested. why? i don t know. it s just the way he is, i guess. while in custody, mumford even draws a map of the bank to tell investigators how he and clayton pulled off the heist. as he s being led to jail, mumford tells reporters exactly how he feels about what he s done. do you admit to robbing the bank in maynard? it would appear so. do you feel bad for what you did? no. for those who survived this dangerous ordeal, especially the people at the maynard savings bank, it s a memory that will not soon go away. we felt violated. we felt very violated. this is our space. you know, we were invaded by nasty people.
enforcement, joins driscoll in the pursuit. i was coming up to highway 93 by sumner. the police chief, dennis cain, was coming out of sumner with his lights and sirens on. i slowed down, let him make the corner to head south. he made that corner and i was in behind him at that point in time. so, he s the lead in the chase. at the next intersection, chief cain overshoots the corner. now driscoll is in the lead. mumford now unloads a barrage of gunfire at officer driscoll. shots fired! shots fired! it sounded like a rock hit my car. i thought to myself, i m not close enough to them for that to be a rock. moments later a bullet slams through the center of driscoll s windshield just to the right of where his dash cam is pointing. it blew out my back window. put shards all over my back
dozens of miles away, the two robbers, 24-year-old jeremiah mumford and 19-year-old william clayton, continue to lead members of law enforcement on a high-speed chase, never slowing down. the two heavily armed bank robbers have unleashed a fusillade of gunfire against police. i m about a quarter of a mile behind, i ve got more cops coming. i said, i m just going to stay with them. so, i m staying with them, and all of a sudden, a first round came through my windshield. the round went through the windshield, through the dash, splintered, hit my arm, and i just got really small. i just got way down below the steering wheel. and i m driving and i m yelling on the radio, shots fired! shots fired! shots fired! i ve been hit. he must got a rifle, man. the wound goes through his right arm, but he s still in pursuit. i have my rifle out between
and then, it was like, alive? yeah, they re all alive. no one is hurt. we re like, oh, thank god. mumford and clayton are taken to the bremer county sheriff s station for questioning. over two hours, each of the men confesses to much of what went on that day, including why they chose to rob the maynard community bank. why were you at the bank in maynard? do you know of any police officers in maynard? no. makes sense to me. but there s a lot of small towns in iowa, why maynard? far enough away from my home. and you can look up the statistics, financially, for any bank. maynard savings is a very, very successful bank considering the economic hardship. okay. so, all the pieces put together seemed like a logical choice. i had an ak-47, started with approximately 500 rounds.
they snuck, they got out. we were so close to that community of frederika. we were so concerned that these folks would get into a house or residence where somebody is occupying it and take a hostage and hurt someone. waterloo police special task force sharpshooters rob duncan and kai richter are positioned in the southwest corner. they intensely scan the woods. they are waiting for the two bank robbers, jeremiah mumford and william clayton, to try to flee the woods and make an escape. something caught my attention off to the left of us. there was two figures. dark clothing. they were kind of hunched down, coming up out of the ditch, and then they turned and headed away from us. as the two men wait to make a move, a photographer takes a picture that shows the sharpshooters in the foreground and a police vehicle about a quarter mile away. it seems that everyone is ready
