COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa - United States Attorney Marc Krickbaum
announced on May 6, 2020, Patrick Spagnotti, age 50, of Omaha, was sentenced by
United States District Court Judge Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger for bank robbery.
Spagnotti was sentenced to 36 months in prison to be followed by a three-year
term of supervised release.
On April 5, 2019, Spagnotti handed a note to a teller at a
US Bank in Council Bluffs that demanded money and the teller gave Spagnotti
$4,335 in cash. Once Spagnotti left the bank, law enforcement attempted to stop
and pull him over, but Spagnotti accelerated to speeds in excess of 100 mph.
Law enforcement eventually executed a controlled stop of the vehicle and
arrested Spagnotti. The cash was recovered by law enforcement.
This matter was investigated by the Council Bluffs Police
Department, Iowa State Patrol, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Great
Plains Violent Crimes Task Force. The case was prosecuted by the United States
Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
