Tampa, Florida – U.S. District Judge James S. Moody today
sentenced Myron William Ernst (61, Orlando) to 10 years in federal prison for
bank robbery.
Ernst had pleaded guilty on May 6, 2019.
According to court documents, between October and November
2018, Ernst committed seven bank robberies and two attempted bank robberies in
Florida and Alabama. During each incident, Ernst presented bank employees with
a threatening note demanding money.
“This serial bank robber was brought to justice by the
strong, investigative efforts of the FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force. Crimes like
this get solved because of the ongoing cooperation and communication with our
federal, state, and local law enforcement partners,” said Special Agent in
Charge of the FBI Tampa Division, Michael F. McPherson.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Callan L.
Albritton.
