CAMDEN, NJ—A Ventnor City, New Jersey
man was sentenced today to 46 month in prison for robbing Ocean City Home Bank
in Margate, New Jersey on July 23, 2010, and The Bank in Absecon, New Jersey on
August 5, 2010, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
William F. Plyler, III, 33, previously
pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Joseph E. Irenas to an information
charging him with two counts of bank robbery. Judge Irenas imposed the sentence
today in Camden federal court.
According documents filed in this case
and statements made in court:
Plyler walked into each bank, approached
the teller counter, and pointed his finger at a teller as he demanded money.
The tellers at each bank gave Plyler the money from their top drawers before he
fled on foot.
In addition to the prison term, Judge
Irenas sentenced Plyler to three years of supervised released and ordered him
to pay $6,695 in restitution.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special
agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B.
Ward in Newark; the New Jersey State Police, under the direction of Col. Rick
Fuentes; Margate City Police Department; and the Absecon Police Department for
the investigation leading to today’s sentence.
The government is represented by
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jacqueline M. Carle of the U.S. Attorney’s Office
Criminal Division in Camden.
