SPRINGFIELD, MO—David M. Ketchmark,
Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced
that a Sikeston, Missouri man pleaded guilty in federal court today to robbing
a Lebanon, Missouri bank.
Larry Gene Enloe, 52, of Sikeston,
pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge James C. England to the charge
contained in an August 29, 2012 federal indictment.
Enloe admitted that he stole $2,350 from
Commerce Bank on August 21, 2012.
According to court documents, Enloe
entered Commerce Bank, located at 224 W. Commercial St., Lebanon, at about 3:15
p.m. on August 21, 2012. Enloe approached the teller counter and presented a
bank robbery note (written on the back of a Walmart receipt) to the teller. The
note read, “10 seconds. Put all your money in the bag now. No one gets hurt.”
The teller handed Enloe $2,350, and he
put the cash in a white plastic bag and walked out the bank.
While conducting a search of the area,
Lebanon police officers located Enloe near a local bus station. He was
questioned and transported to the police station where he was searched;
officers found $2,350 hidden in his socks.
Under federal statutes, Enloe is subject
to a sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine
up to $250,000. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of
a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
This case is being prosecuted by
Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Mohlhenrich. It was investigated by the Lebanon,
Missouri Police Department and the FBI.
