KANSAS CITY, KAN. – A Kansas City man was sentenced today to
65 months in federal prison for robbing a bank in Bonner Springs, U.S. Attorney
Stephen McAllister said.
Timothy Karpovich, 39, Kansas City, Mo., pleaded guilty to
one count of bank robbery. An affidavit filed in the case alleged that
Karpovich robbed the KCB Bank at 13010 Commercial in Bonner Springs. He gave
the teller a handwritten note that read, “This is a robbery.” After the teller
complied with the demand, Karpovich took the money, and fled the bank on foot.
Police received a tip that the robber gambled regularly at
Harrah’s Casino in North Kansas City, Missouri. Casino employees identified
Karpovich from a bank surveillance photo. He was arrested without incident at
the casino.
McAllister commended the FBI, the Bonner Springs Police
Department, the Missouri Highway Patrol Gaming Division and Assistant U.S.
Attorney Trent Krug for their work on the case.
