A Kansas City, Kansas, man was sentenced Monday to 6.25 years in federal prison for robbing the U.S. Bank in Kansas City, Kansas, in February, U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said.

Andre U. Randle, 37, Kansas City, Kansas, pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery.

In his plea, Randle admitted that on Feb. 1, 2017, he robbed the U.S. Bank at 10959 Parallel Parkway, in Kansas City, Kansas.

According to court documents, he gave a clerk a note saying, “I have 2 guns. Don’t make me use them,” before leaving the bank with stolen cash in a purple pillow case. Officers of the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department stopped his car in the 6900 block of Troop and arrested him.

Beall commended the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department, the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Oakley for their work on the case.
