If at first you don’t succeed, you may not the second time either.
A Kansas man was sentenced Wednesday for robbing a bank, for the second time.
US Attorney Barry Grissom says Mark Finnigin, 52, of Wichita, was sentenced to 63 months in federal prison. He pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery.
In his plea, he admitted that on July 22, 2014, he robbed an Emprise Bank location in south Wichita. He entered the bank at about 9:40am and demanded a clerk give him $10,000. The clerk put some cash on the counter. Finnigin took the money and fled before the clerk could finish.
A surveillance camera at a nearby store recorded him getting in a minivan.
Officials point out that this is not the first time Mr Finnigin has been caught robbing this particular bank. In 2007, he pleaded guilty to robbing the same bank. He was sentenced to 51 months in that case.
