Ky man pleads guilty to 4 bank robberies
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – A Louisville man has pleaded guilty to federal charges of robbing four banks in Louisville during a two week period.
U.S. Attorney David J. Hale says 47-year-old Robert Scott Manley admitted to using force, violence, and intimidation when he robbed the four banks between Dec. 20, 2012 and Dec. 31, 2012.
Hale says Manley absconded with $12,010 in the robberies in which federally insured money was taken from the institutions.
Manley entered the plea Tuesday in federal court in Louisville.
If convicted at trial, Manley faced a sentence of no more than 80 years in federal prison, a fine of $1,000,000. Manley was arrested by U.S. Marshals on January 2, 2013.
