Wichita Man Sentenced to More Than Seven Years for Bank Robbery

WICHITA, KS—A Wichita man was sentenced Monday to 90 months in federal prison for bank robbery, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.

Myron T. Markham, 31, Wichita, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery. In his plea, he admitted that on March 12, 2014, he robbed the Fidelity Bank at 100 E. English in Wichita. After leaving the bank, he threw away his sweatshirt and hat and caught a bus to his brother’s house.

Grissom commended the Wichita Police Department, the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Hart for their work on the case.
