OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A man has been sentenced to prison after being convicted of two bank robberies in Omaha that occurred while he was on furlough from prison for four previous robberies.
U.S. Attorney Deborah Gilg announced Monday that 59-year-old Albert Dansby was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Omaha to seven years in prison for two bank robberies.
Dansby was serving more than eight years in prison for four bank robberies when the Bureau of Prisons placed him on furlough. The bureau put him on a bus from a Texas facility to a half-way house in Hastings, Neb.
Dansby left the bus in Omaha on July 24, 2013, and robbed a bank of $1,914. On Aug. 9, he robbed another Omaha bank of $3,502.
Omaha police arrested him on Aug. 11, 2013.
