PITTSBURGH—A former Allegheny County resident has been sentenced in federal court on his conviction for six counts of bank robbery, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today. Furay received a sentence of 64 months’ imprisonment, followed by three years’ supervised release, and Furay was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $16,645.80, of which $4,990.00 shall be paid through forfeiture of funds recovered from Furay.

United States District Judge Gustave Diamond imposed the sentence yesterday on Christopher Furay, 33, formerly of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
