Miami County Man Charged with Bank Robbery

KANSAS CITY, KAN. – A Miami County man was charged in federal court Tuesday with robbing a bank in Overland Park, Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said.

Paul A Sundquist, 29, Louisburg, Kan., is charged with a Sept. 19, 2016, robbery at the Stanley Bank, 7835 W.151st in Overland Park, Kan. A criminal complaint alleges Sundquist showed a clerk a note demanding money before receiving the cash and fleeing the bank. A bystander got a partial tag number on Sundquist’s pickup truck. Sundquist was monitoring police radio traffic on his cell phone. When he heard police had his tag number he called 911 and surrendered.

If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in federal prison. The FBI and the Overland Park Police Department investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Terra Morehead is prosecuting.

In all cases, defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The indictments merely contain allegations of criminal conduct.
