ALBUQUERQUE—This morning, a federal
judge in Albuquerque, New Mexico sentenced James Aley White, 31, of Espanola,
New Mexico, to a 120-month term of imprisonment for his bank robbery
conviction. White will be on supervised release for three years after he
completes his prison sentence. White also was ordered to pay full restitution
to the bank that was the victim of his crime.
U.S. Attorney Kenneth J. Gonzales said
that, on November 15, 2011, White pled guilty to robbing the Bank of America
(bank) located at 8040 Academy Road NE in Albuquerque on August 19, 2011.
According to court filings, the bank was
robbed on August 19, 2011 by a man who walked into the bank, handed the teller
a Social Security check, and said he needed to withdraw cash. Along with the
Social Security check, the bank robber handed the teller a note that read,
“No-noise-all money in drawer-don’t stall-gun.” After the bank teller provided
cash to the robber, he walked away with the cash, leaving behind the Social
Security check and demand note. The FBI traced the Social Security check to an
individual who identified White as the bank robber in a photograph taken by a
surveillance camera in the bank. After a second person identified White as the
bank robber in the surveillance photograph, the FBI arrested White on August
26, 2011. White has been in federal custody since that time.
The case was investigated by the FBI and
Albuquerque Police Department and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney
Charles L. Barth.
