DALLAS — A second man has been sentenced to 300-plus years in prison for a string of violent Dallas-area bank robberies two years ago.
Twenty-year-old Margarito Armijo (mar-guh-REET'-o ar-MEE'-ho) of suburban Grand Prairie was given a 391-year federal prison sentence Monday and ordered to pay $123,000 in restitution. The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Armijo's sentence by U.S. District Judge Davis C. Godbey came a week after 21-year-old Jason Montes was given 340 years. Both were convicted in April on multiple counts of bank robbery, conspiracy to commit bank robbery and using, carrying and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. The U.S. Attorney's Office says they were part of a crew of armed robbers that hit nine banks, with each stop lasting less than a minute. Armijo attorney Dan Smith argued his client was led by older adults and gave a coerced confession. He says he plans to appeal.  Add as favourites (195) |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 943
