Omaha Man Sentenced to Prison for Robbing 2 Banks

dept.-of-justiceOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha man has been sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for robbing two banks.

Senior U.S. District Court Judge Joseph F. Bataillon sentenced 39-year-old Phillip M. Weber to 138 months in federal prison on Wednesday.

Weber was accused of taking $4,500 from a Security National Bank branch in Omaha in May 2014. He was accused of taking more than $1,800 from a Iberia Bank in Little Rock, Arkansas, in June 2014.

Prosecutors say Weber carjacked a vehicle that was later used in the Arkansas bank robbery.
