ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr.
announced today that Donald L. White, 24, of Rochester, NY, pleaded guilty to
bank robbery. The charge carries a
maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both.
Assistant U.S. Charles E. Moynihan, who is handling the
prosecution of the case, stated that on November 16, 2016, the defendant
entered the Chase Bank at 36 Genesee Street in Rochester at about 9:47 a.m. and
passed the bank teller a note stating that he was serious, directing the teller
not to get the attention of others, and to provide him with money. In the note,
White also said he did not want a dye pack and told the teller that she had 20
seconds to comply. The teller provided the defendant with an amount of United
States currency, which he took before leaving the bank.
White also admitted to robbing the same Chase Bank a month
earlier on October 11, 2016, during which the defendant displayed a similar
note demanding money.
White was subsequently in Georgia where he committed
additional crimes for which he is now imprisoned.
The plea is the culmination of an investigation on the part
of Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction
of Special Agent-in-Charge Gary Loeffert, as well as officers from the
Rochester Police Department, under the direction of Chief La'Ron D. Singletary.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 17, 2019, at 4:00 p.m.
before Judge Geraci.
