TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A former Washburn University football player has pleaded guilty to robbing a Topeka credit union earlier this month. The U.S. Attorney’s office says 21-year-old Vershon Moore, of Topeka, faces up to 25 years in prison following his guilty plea Tuesday to one count of bank robbery. A co-defendant who worked at the Envista Credit Union is awaiting trial. Federal prosecutors say Moore pulled up to the credit union on Aug. 9, showed a gun and demanded money from two employees filling an ATM with cash. He then drove away. Investigators learned Moore’s co-defendant had provided him information about the schedule for filling the ATM. The stolen money and a gun were recovered from her home. Moore was a star senior running back at Washburn. He was dismissed from the team after his arrest.
