KANSAS CITY, KS—A Kansas City man has
been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for bank robbery, U.S. Attorney
Barry Grissom said today.
Joshua J. Parker, 20, Kansas City,
Missouri, pleaded guilty to two counts of bank robbery. In his plea, he admitted
that on October 21, 2011, he entered the U.S. Bank at 6940 Mission Road. He was
dressed like a woman, wearing a black wig, dark sunglasses, and dark zippered
jacket. He pushed aside a customer at the counter, jumped up on the counter and
declared, “I’m back.” The teller recognized him as the same person who had
robbed the bank on August 23, 2011.
Parker fled the bank in a Chrysler
Sebring. A Prairie Village police officer attempted to stop the car. The
Sebring slowed down, but didn’t stop. When officers forced the car to stop near
West 65th Street and Overbrook, Parker ran from the vehicle, wearing only black
shorts and socks. He ran north through backyards and a low-lying creek bed,
where he was arrested.
Grissom commended the Prairie Village
Police Department, the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Kim Martin for their
work on the case.
