COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – Ricky Allen Fisher, 35, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, has been sentenced to 99 months in federal prison for bank robberies he committed in Ontario, Oregon and Cottonwood, Idaho.

According to a plea agreement, Fisher admitted to being released from federal prison on May 6, 2014, and took a bus to Idaho.

On May 16, 2014, Fisher robbed the U.S. Bank in Cottonwood, Idaho, and took $2,324.00.

As part of his sentence, Judge Lodge also ordered Fisher to pay restitution to each of the three banks he robbed.
