pleaded guilty today, in separate criminal cases, to one count each of bank
robbery and conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute

that read “Give me your money and nobody gets hurt.” Fuller then told the
teller not to play games. The teller gave Fuller $517 and pressed her alarm button

a member of a drug distribution conspiracy and possessing more than fifty grams

10-year mandatory minimum, a $10 million fine and five years of supervised
release. He will be sentenced on April 8, 2019 before U.S. District Court Judge
Michael J. McShane.
As part of the plea agreement, Fuller has agreed to pay $517
in restitution.
