Rhode Island man pleads guilty to bank robbery
April 8th, 2010 - 11:03 pm ICT by BNO NewsPROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND (BNO NEWS) – A Rhode Island man pleads guilty to robbing a bank, prosecutors said Thursday.
Anthony Miller, 22, of Providence, Rhode Island, entered the Warwick Avenue branch of the Pawtucket Credit Union carrying a duffel bag on July 24, 2009 and pointed a black revolver at a teller and told the teller to put all the cash in the bag. Miller took the duffel bag and repeated his actions to a second teller before he fled to a wooded area behind the bank with $7,700.
Authorities were informed, but a search, which was conducted in the area, was unsuccessful.
A Warwick patrolman stopped a car the following day because it did not have a license plate attached. The driver of the car was Miller, and he was unable to provide any personal identification and was acting nervously, according to the officer. He then made voluntary statements to the officer regarding the bank robbery and made a full confession to police supervisors who responded to the scene.
After Miller’s statements, a duffel bag containing $5,762, a black replica revolver and clothing matching what Miller wore during the robbery were located in the woods behind the bank.
Miller is scheduled to be sentenced on July 8, 2010.
