Man guilty of robbery at Colorado bank sentenced to prison, has "extensive criminal record" courts say
CBS News
A man found guilty of robbing a Colorado bank in 2024 will now serve 22 years in prison.
Octavio Alan Rivas Morales took a plea deal after he was charged with walking into the Independent Bank at 501 N. Wilcox Street in Castle Rock while brandishing a gun and demanding money. Authorities said he fired a round into the floor to frighten staff and customers, then left with approximately $2,000 in cash.
One of the bank tellers said Rivas Morales came to the bank to cash a check several days prior to the robbery and they recognized him. When authorities checked security footage, staff were able to look up his transaction and identify him. He was arrested in Johnstown the following day.
