A Colorado man already serving time for a bank robbery in Arkansas was indicted in Topeka on Wednesday on charges he robbed a bank in Manhattan, Kan., U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said.
Kenneth Wayne Fisher, Jr., 41, formerly of Colorado Springs, Colo., is charged with one count of bank robbery. The indictment alleges that on Aug. 26, 2015, Fisher robbed Sunflower State Bank at 2710 Anderson Ave. in Manhattan.
A few months after the Manhattan robbery, Fisher was arrested in California. He was extradited to Arkansas to face charges of robbing a bank in Bentonville, Ark., on Aug. 28, 2015. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced earlier this month to more than eight years in federal prison for the Arkansas robbery.
The FBI investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Maag is prosecuting.
