PITTSBURGH, Pa. – A former resident of Washington County,
Pennsylvania, has been sentenced in federal court to a term of imprisonment of
three years and five months, to be followed by three years of supervised
release, on his conviction on a charge of armed bank robbery, United States
Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.
Chief United States District Judge Joy Flowers Conti imposed
the sentence yesterday on Gary White, 21, formerly of Fredericktown, Pa.
According to information presented to the court, on
September 20, 2017, White robbed the PNC Bank on Saw Mill Run Blvd with a
knife. White instructed one of the two tellers to open the glass partition
separating the tellers from the public. When the teller could not remove the
glass, White removed the window. He then climbed through the window and ordered
the tellers to open several safes located behind the teller counter. He also
advised the tellers that he had a gun while motioning towards his hip. The
tellers backed away and White removed piles of cash from each safe and placed
them into a red drawstring bag that he was carrying. He took $111,409 before
fleeing the bank in his vehicle. Authorities were able to identify White from
surveillance video as well as his vehicle’s registration. Law enforcement
executed search warrants on his apartment and car. The search warrant on the
car revealed the red Under Armour bag, containing $103,309, as well as the
clothing worn during the robbery and the knife. White turned himself in a few
days later and confessed to the robbery.
Assistant United States Attorney Shanicka L. Kennedy
prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, along with the
Allegheny County Police and Brentwood Police Departments, conducted the
investigation leading to the prosecution of this case.
