WICHITA, KAN. – A Wichita man was indicted Wednesday on
charges of robbing a Quik Trip, U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister said.
Samuel L. Vliet, 25, Wichita, Kan., is charged with one
count of committing a robbery at a commercial establishment. In court
documents, investigators allege that on July 18, 2018, Vliet was wearing a red
bandana over his mouth when he entered a Quik Trip at 110 S. Rock Road in
Wichita. He told a store employee, “Give me all the money in the register.”
Later, police lifted fingerprints from a door that the store
employee said the robber touched as he left. A forensic examination using the
Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) matched the fingerprint to
Vliet.
If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in federal prison and
a fine up to $250,000. The FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force investigated. Special
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly Rodebaugh is prosecuting.
