Man Gets 32-Year Term In Rockville Bank Holdup
A man who was convicted with two others of robbing a Rockville bank last year was sentenced yesterday to 32 years in prison, the U.S. attorney's office said.
Richol Griner, 31, was the last of the three defendants to be sentenced in the case, which was tried in federal court in Greenbelt in June. In sentencing Griner, U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte found that under federal guidelines, previous convictions for assault and other offenses provided for a longer prison term, the U.S. attorney's office said.
Last week, Giovanni Bell, 45, was sentenced to life without parole, and Jude Eligwe, 23, who was an employee at the bank, was sentenced to four years in prison.
The robbery occurred Feb. 19, 2007, at a Commerce Bank branch on East Gude Drive.
