Man Pleads Guilty to Scottsbluff Thanksgiving Bank Robbery

michael-scott-scottsbluff(AP) — A Scottsbluff man accused of robbing a bank on the day before Thanksgiving has pleaded guilty as part of a plea deal.

42-year-old Michael Scott entered the guilty plea to a robbery charge Thursday in Scotts Bluff County District Court.

Scotts Bluff County Attorney Doug Warner has agreed not to refile theft and fraud charges related to more than $8,000 in losses with bank ATM cards.

Scott will be sentenced at the end of September. He pleaded guilty last month to possession of methamphetamine in connection with the bank robbery. In a separate case, he was sentenced in May to at least a year in prison for assaulting an inmate at the county jail.
