TOPEKA, KAN. – A Colorado man pleaded guilty Monday to
robbing a bank in Manhattan, Kan., U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister said.
Kenneth Wayne Fisher, Jr., 42, formerly of Colorado Springs,
Colo., pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery. Fisher admitted that on
Aug. 26, 2015, he robbed Sunflower State Bank at 2710 Anderson Ave. in
Manhattan. He gave a teller a note saying, “Give me the money and no tricks.”
A few months after the Manhattan robbery, Fisher was
arrested in California. He was extradited to Arkansas to face charges of
robbing a bank in Bentonville, Ark., on Aug. 28, 2015. He pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to more than eight years for the Arkansas robbery.
Sentencing in this case is set for July 9. He faces up to 20
years in federal prison. McAllister commended the Riley County Police
Department, the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Maag for their work on
the case.
