ALBUQUERQUE—This morning in federal court in Albuquerque, Ryan Scott Davis, 33, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with bank robbery. At sentencing, Davis faces a maximum penalty of 20 years of imprisonment. Davis, a resident of Albuquerque, has been in federal custody since his arrest on April 15, 2011, and remains detained pending his sentencing hearing, which has yet to be scheduled.
United States Attorney Kenneth J. Gonzales said that Davis pleaded guilty to robbing the New Mexico Educator’s Federal Credit Union (Bank) located at 6501 Indian School Street, NE in Albuquerque on April 15, 2011. Davis was charged in a criminal complaint filed on April 15, 2011, and subsequently was indicted on May 11, 2011.
According to the criminal complaint, witnesses to the bank robbery described the bank robber as a white male, approximately 6’ 2” tall, medium build, with blond-brown hair, wearing a blue and white baseball cap, a handkerchief under the baseball cap, a dark blue or black jacket, and wearing a military-style olive drab over-the-shoulder bag. The witnesses reported that the bank robber fled after obtaining cash from the tellers. Shortly thereafter, officers of the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) observed a man fitting the description of the bank robber riding a scooter. When the officers arrested Davis, they discovered that he had large sums of cash as well as other evidence of the bank robbery. After APD transferred Davis into the custody of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), he confessed to robbing the Bank after waiving his constitutional rights.
The case was investigated by the FBI and APD, and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Raul Torrez.
