The U.S. Attorney’s Office said that 30-year-old Michael McNeil was sentenced Thursday for two counts of bank robbery.
U.S. District Judge John M. Gerrard also ordered McNeil to pay $41,182 back to the banks he robbed.
On June 3, 2022, McNeil went into the Heartland Bank in Geneva, approached the window and gave the teller a “demand” note, the attorney’s office said.
The note told the teller to empty the cash drawer and no one would get hurt. McNeil left the bank in a Jeep Cherokee, which did not have plates, with over $17,000 in cash.
The attorney’s office said McNeil left the bank with over $26,000 in cash.
On July 9, Lincoln Police pulled over McNeil, who was driving a car he had bought a day after the bank robbery.
McNeil admitted to officers that he had robbed U.S. Bank, according to the attorney’s office.
During a search of McNeil’s home, investigators found an unfinished demand note and clothing that matched the robber’s attire.
