KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) A California man is going to prison for the armed holdup of a Dodge City bank in October 2010.
The U.S. Attorney’s office says 33-year-old Angel Garcia Aguirre, of Santa Paula, Calif., was sentenced Tuesday to 12 years and three months behind bars.
Garcia Aguirre pleaded guilty last year to one count each of bank robbery and brandishing a firearm, admitting he and another man robbed a Bank of America branch in Dodge City on Oct. 21, 2010. He said he stood in the lobby while the other man jumped over a teller’s counter and grabbed money.
Garcia Aguirre was shot and wounded by police the following day when he climbed out a window of a home where investigators confronted him and tried to scale a fence.
