A Topeka man was sentenced Monday to 43 months in federal prison for helping his twin brother rob a payday lender’s store.

Acting U.S. Attorney for Kansas Tom Beall said Lamar Ray Steele, 26, pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting a commercial robbery. In his plea, he admitted he was the driver in a June 4, 2014, robbery at Check Into Cash at 3711 S.W. Plaza Drive in Topeka.

He waited in the car while his twin brother went into the store brandishing a firearm. The brothers fled after the robbery.

Co-defendant Charles Lamar Steele, 26, Topeka, is set for sentencing Dec. 12. Co-defendant Zennie Lee Vasser, 33, Topeka, Kan., was sentenced to 43 months.
