SACRAMENTO, CA—Paul Michael Schmeer, 30,
of Auburn, was sentenced today by United States District Judge Morrison C.
England Jr. to four years and nine months in prison, to be followed by three
years of supervised release, for serial bank robbery, United States Attorney
Benjamin B. Wagner announced. Judge England ordered Schmeer to pay full
restitution for the robberies.
This case was the product of an
investigation by the Sacramento Violent Crimes Task Force, which includes the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.
Assistant United States Attorney Michelle Rodriguez prosecuted the case.
According to court documents, on
December 5, 2011, Schmeer robbed the Roseville Branch of Chase Bank on Douglas
Boulevard. He presented a note to a teller, demanding money and threatening
that he had a gun. The teller complied, and Schmeer left the bank with $4,000.
On January 5, 2012, he robbed the Chase Bank branch on E Street in Davis using
the same method. He left the bank with $5,070 and was caught because his
likeness was captured on bank surveillance cameras.
