Bank Robber Sentenced to 12 Years, 7 Months
U.S. District Judge Michael P. McCuskey sentenced Frank P. Sutton, 26, of Danville, to 151 months (12 years, 7 months) in prison for robbing a Danville bank last year.
On Feb. 11, 2013, Sutton pled guilty to the Sept. 14, 2012, robbery of Old National Bank, located at 2431 N. Vermilion Street. This is Sutton’s third conviction for bank robbery.
Sutton admitted that on Sept. 14, 2012, he approached a bank teller and said, “I’m on a suicide mission,” and handed the teller a note that stated, “I need your money.”
The teller handed the defendant $1,340 in U.S. currency and Sutton fled the bank. Several days later, Sutton was arrested in Chicago, where Sutton said he fled by taking a freight train, and used the robbery money to buy heroin.
Sutton has remained in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service since he was indicted by a federal grand jury in November 2012.
The investigation was conducted by the Danville Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Eugene L. Miller.
As part of the sentence, Sutton was ordered to pay restitution to the bank in the amount of $1,340. With his lengthy prison sentence and restitution, Sutton’s bank robbery will have cost him a significant amount of time and money.
