A Kansas City, Mo., man who pointed a gun in the face of a bank employee during a robbery in Overland Park was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years in federal prison, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.
Landein Craddock, 34, Kansas City, Mo., pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., to one count of armed bank robbery.
In his plea, he admitted that on Jan. 20, 2015, he displayed a revolver when he and another man robbed the Bank of the West at 9400 Antioch in Overland Park, Kan.
Both robbers wore masks and gloves. Craddock shouted at employees and customers to get on the ground and he pointed a gun in the face of one of the bank employees, while the other man jumped the counter and collected money from tellers.
Shortly after the robbery, police spotted Craddock and the other man in a black Honda and pursued them until the driver crashed his car in Kansas City, Mo. Craddock fled on foot and was arrested about a block from the scene of the accident.
Co-defendant Jerome Davis, 32, Kansas City, Mo., is awaiting sentencing.
Grissom commended the Overland Park Police Department, the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Rask.
