Armed Bank Robbery Strikes Fear in Fremont Community
On November 15, 2017, a brazen armed bank robbery shook the Fremont community when Warren Dwayne Vasser, 45, and two accomplices, Warren Copeland and Angelo Douglas, entered the First State Bank located at 1005 East 23rd St. in Fremont, Nebraska, and made off with a substantial sum of money.
The thieves, all armed and possessing firearms, took $84,135 in bank funds before embarking on a high-speed chase into Omaha, where they were eventually apprehended by law enforcement. In a shocking turn of events, all but $20 of the stolen funds were recovered.
Warren Dwayne Vasser was sentenced to 132 months’ imprisonment by Senior United States District Judge Laurie Smith Camp in Omaha, Nebraska, on an unspecified date. A five-year term of supervised release was also imposed, in addition to the order for Vasser to make restitution in the amount of $20 to the bank.
Warren Copeland and Angelo Douglas, Vasser’s accomplices, were previously sentenced to prison terms of 12 and 11 years respectively earlier this year.
The investigation into the armed bank robbery was a collaborative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Fremont Police Department, and the Nebraska State Patrol.
Warren Dwayne Vasser’s sentence serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of engaging in such egregious crimes. As the community continues to heal from the trauma inflicted by this brazen act of violence, it is essential to acknowledge the bravery and dedication of law enforcement agencies involved in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
Warren Dwayne Vasser’s crimes have left a lasting impact on the Fremont community, and his sentence is a testament to the unwavering commitment of law enforcement to protecting the public and upholding the law.
