PITTSBURGH -A former resident of Clairton, PA, has been
sentenced in federal court to 60 months of incarceration followed by three
years of supervised release on his conviction of two counts of bank robbery,
United States Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.
United States District Judge David Cercone imposed the
sentence yesterday on Raymond Zwibel, age 46.
According to information presented to the court, Zwibel
stole $3,700 from the First Commonwealth Bank in New Alexandria, PA on August
19, 2013 and then acted as the getaway driver for co-defendant Matthew Stanley
who stole $2,413 from the Citizens Bank in Latrobe, PA on August 23, 2013.
Stanley recently pleaded guilty on September 6, 2018 and is
scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Cercone on February 1, 2019 at 11:30 a.m.
Prior to imposing sentence, Judge Cercone stated that
Zwibel’s addiction made him like Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, noting that Zwibel
once saved an inmate from hanging himself in jail, but continued to commit
numerous crimes as a result of his heroin addiction.
Assistant United States Attorney Ross E. Lenhardt prosecuted
this case on behalf of the government.
United States Attorney Brady commended the Federal Bureau of
Investigation for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of
both Zwibel and Stanley
