A Wichita man pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to taking part in an armed bank robbery almost exactly a year ago, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.
David L. Hollis III, 29, pleaded guilty to one count of brandishing a firearm during a Dec. 1, 2010, robbery at Equity Bank, 555 N. Webb Road in Wichita. He admitted he was one of three men who entered the bank with their faces covered.
Sentencing is set for Feb. 15. Prosecutors will ask for 84 months in federal prison, Grissom said.
Shelan D. Peters, who was shot during the chase after the robbery, has already been sentenced to 97 months. Raymond L. Rogers, the third co-defendant, is on trial this week.
Hollis was one of two men brandishing firearms. The three men collected money from tellers’ drawers and the bank’s vault before fleeing in stolen cars, Grissom said.
The robbers drove to an apartment complex at 5400 E. 21st St., where they fled on foot. Officers followed Hollis into one of the buildings and arrested him.
They recovered items of clothing Hollis had hidden in a fire extinguisher box. Investigators matched Hollis to DNA found on a Bersa handgun in one of the getaway cars. There also was dye from an exploded security dye pack on his shirt.
