Wichita Man Pleads Guilty to Federal Bank Robbery Charge

WICHITA KN—A Wichita man pleaded guilty Monday to a bank robbery that ended when he rolled his car in a residential neighborhood, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.

Harold Carl Deloach, Jr., 41, Wichita, Kan., pleaded guilty to robbing the Credit Union of America at 212 S. Ridge Road in Wichita on Jan. 15, 2015. He entered the credit union at about 5 p.m. and gave the teller a note saying, “Put the money in the bag.” He was arrested after rolling his car in a homeowner’s front yard near 13th North and Tyler, about three miles from the bank.

Sentencing is set for Dec. 14. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000. Grissom commended the Wichita Police Department, the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney for their work on the case.
