Man faces 10-years in prison for Kansas bank robberies

Bank robberyWICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A man has pleaded guilty to two bank robberies at a south Wichita grocery store more than two years ago.

The Wichita Eagle reports  that 45-year-old Frederick Aaron Cunningham admitted to robbing the Intrust Bank inside a Dillons Store on Oct. 9 and Oct. 28, 2013. Cunningham is charged with one felony count of bank robbery.

Cunningham was linked to the crimes after investigators tested DNA on a hat and shirt he discarded in a nearby neighborhood.

He is scheduled for sentencing before a federal court judge in Wichita Feb. 18.

Attorneys involved in the case will ask the judge to sentence Cunningham to 10 years in federal prison. The plea agreement says Cunningham will be asked to pay more than $2,000 in restitution.
