A Wichita man has pleaded guilty to bank robbery after detectives arrested him with his demand note still in his pocket.
U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom says Donald R. Young entered a guilty plea during a hearing in U.S. District Court in Wichita Tuesday.
In his plea, Young admitted that on Feb. 10, 2012, he robbed a Wells Fargo Bank branch in Wichita.
He walked into the bank and presented a demand noting saying in part, “I have a gun. Remain calm. I only want fifties and hundreds. Do not sound any alarm or make a scene.”
Detectives for the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office arrested Young shortly after the robbery. He had money from the bank in his possession and the demand note, which he had torn up, was in his pants pocket.
Sentencing is set for Dec. 17. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000.
