TOPEKA, KAN. – A Topeka man was sentenced today to 12 years
and 10 months in federal prison for robbing a McDonald’s restaurant, U.S.
Attorney Stephan McAllister said.
Brendon R. Thompson, 31, Topeka, Kan., pleaded guilty to one
count of robbery and one count of aiding and abetting another robber who
brandished a firearm during the robbery.
In his plea, Thompson admitted that on July 10, 2017, he and
another man robbed the McDonald’s restaurant at 1100 South Kansas Avenue in
Topeka. Thompson went behind the counter and took money from the registers
while the other robber brandished a firearm. The robbers fled when police

away.
McAllister commended the FBI, the Topeka Police Department
and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Maag for their work on the case.
