Inside Job Carries 20 Year Maximum Prison Term

A Topeka woman who helped a man rob the bank where she worked in August faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison after her guilty plea Tuesday. U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom says Tracie Bacon, 22, Topeka, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery.


In her plea, she admitted that on Aug. 9, 2011, she helped co-defendant Vershon Moore rob the Envista Credit Union at 2015 Southwest 10th Street in Topeka. Bacon was an employee of the bank. She admitted she told Moore details about the operation of the bank and when bank employees were going to fill the ATM.

Moore pleaded guilty in August to the bank robbery. In his plea he admitted he held up two bank employees when they stepped outside the bank carrying cash to refill the ATM machine.

Bacon is set for sentencing Feb. 6. Moore is set for sentencing Dec. 12. Each faces a maximum of 20 years in prison plus a fine up to $250,000.
