Amarillo Man Admits to Robbing Amarillo National Bank
AMARILLO, Texas — A 51-year-old man from Amarillo pleaded guilty to robbing a branch of Amarillo National Bank (ANB) in March 2015.
William Eugene Boyd appeared before U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson and pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery.
According to court documents, on March 13, 2015, Boyd approached a teller at the ANB located at 2401 S. Coulter, in Amarillo, and told her, “This is a robbery.”
He instructed her to give him all the money, nothing marked, and not make a sound. He told her that if she handed over all her money, she would not get hurt, and he kept his left hand by his waistband, making her fearful he had a weapon.
The teller complied with his instructions, and Boyd left the bank with the cash.
After providing surveillance photographs to the media that were broadcast to the public, Arlington Police Department investigators received several tips from Boyd’s friends and family members identifying him as the robber.
Boyd faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. A sentencing date has not been set.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Amarillo Police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua Frausto is prosecuting the case.
