Federal judge sentences man in Kzoo Co. bank robbery
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A federal judge sentenced a man to six and a half years in prison for a Kalamazoo County bank robbery.
On Thursday, the judge also ordered Randell Lee Wicks to three years of supervised release and pay $13,836 in restitution for one count of armed bank robbery.
The robbery happened shortly before 5 p.m. Sept. 12 at the Chemical Bank on W. Main Street west of US-131 in Oshtemo Township.
Investigators say two robbers, including Wicks, were both masked and armed with handguns. They stole about $13,836 from the bank, according to a federal indictment.
Authorities say that after robbing the bank, the pair ran to a waiting getaway car — possibly a Chevrolet Malibu — in a nearby neighborhood.
