Armed Bank Robbery Lands Omaha Man 132 Months in Prison

A brazen armed bank robbery in Fremont, Nebraska, has landed a local man in the slammer for 132 months. Warren Dwayne Vasser, 45, was sentenced by Senior United States District Judge Laurie Smith Camp for his role in the daring heist.

According to court documents, Vasser and two accomplices, Warren Copeland and Angelo Douglas, entered the First State Bank located at 1005 East 23rd St. in Fremont on November 15, 2017, armed with firearms. They made off with $84,135 in bank funds, sparking a high-speed chase into Omaha that ended with all three suspects being apprehended.

While the majority of the stolen funds were recovered, a staggering $20 remains unaccounted for. Vasser’s accomplices, Copeland and Douglas, were sentenced to 12 and 11 years in prison, respectively, earlier this year.

The investigation into the armed bank robbery was a collaborative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Fremont Police Department, and the Nebraska State Patrol. The case serves as a sobering reminder of the severity of federal crimes and the importance of law enforcement cooperation.

Vasser’s sentence includes 132 months’ imprisonment, a five-year term of supervised release, and a hefty restitution order of $20 to the bank. The case is a stark reminder of the consequences of armed robbery and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their crimes.

The sentencing of Warren Dwayne Vasser brings closure to a complex and high-profile case. As the community moves forward, it’s essential to recognize the tireless efforts of law enforcement agencies in bringing justice to those responsible for federal crimes.
