A Nebraska man has been sentenced for a robbery officials say was staged. His accomplice was scheduled for sentencing Thursday.

United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that Steven Schulze, age 29, of Laurel, Nebraska, was sentenced for his conviction of theft of property in Indian Country.

Magistrate Judge Thomas D. Thalken sentenced Schulze to three years of probation and ordered him to pay restitution in the amount of $907.

Schulze’s accomplice, Michael Bambery, is scheduled for sentencing on March 31

Schulze was an employee of the Pony Express, a convenience store in Rosalie, Nebraska owned by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. On August 15, 2015, Schulze and Bambery executed a staged robbery wherein Bambery purported to rob Schulze at gunpoint. In actuality, Bambery used a toy gun. Schulze gave Bambery $907 from the register.

FBI investigators learned that Bambery later reneged on a promise to give Schulze some of the money.
