A 7-foot man was sentenced Monday to 30 months in federal prison for robbing a Franklin County Bank, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.
Caleb Jeffcoat, 26, Quenemo, Kan., pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., to one count of bank robbery.
In his plea, he admitted that on March 19, 2014, he robbed the Goppert State Service Bank in Pomona, Kan.
During the robbery, he wore a black ninja mask belonging to a co-defendant’s son and carried a BB gun modified to make it look more like a real gun.
Investigators used surveillance photos and other information to identify Jeffcoat, who is 7 feet tall. He was arrested two days after the robbery.
Grissom commended the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Rask for their work on the case.
