(AP) — A 26-year-old Omaha man has been given seven to 12 years in prison for the 2012 robbery of a credit union office in Lincoln.

Online court records say Billy Johnson Jr. on Wednesday was given credit for 469 days already served. Johnson pleaded guilty last month in Lancaster County District Court.

Prosecutors say he got away with nearly $23,000 on July 9, 2012, from Liberty First Credit Union.

Prosecutors say Johnson was identified after investigators matched his left thumbprint on the note he gave a teller.
