Man gets 8-15 years for robbing bank in Lincoln

Roosevelt Erving

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A judge has sentenced a 24-year-old man to prison for robbing a Lincoln bank branch.

Lancaster County District Court records say Roosevelt Q. Erving was sentenced Thursday to eight to 15 years. He’d pleaded guilty to the Sept. 25 robbery of a Union Bank branch. The judge credited him with 282 days already served.

His girlfriend, 27-year-old Danielle Lawson, faces aiding and abetting and other charges. She’s pleaded not guilty but is expected to change her pleas at a Sept. 6 hearing.
