A Roanoke man got a 10-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to two bank robberies in 2022.
Michael Anthony McCoy, 67, pleaded guilty in July to one count of bank robbery with the use of a dangerous weapon and one count of bank robbery.
A second defendant, Dawn Davis, had previously pleaded guilty and was previously sentenced to two years in federal prison for her role in one of the robberies, which was to write the threatening note that Davis used in the first robbery, dated Oct. 26, 2022.
According to court documents, McCoy entered the Truist Bank location on Melrose Avenue NW in Roanoke and handed the note to a bank teller, then approached a second teller and brandished a firearm.
McCoy stole $6,485 from the Truist Bank location.
Two days later, McCoy then robbed another Truist Bank on McClanahan Street SW, stealing nearly $6,000 from that bank.
Per the Virginia online court information website, McCoy has a lengthy rap sheet dating back to the late 1980s.
