A 53-year-old man who was on parole when he ran away from a halfway house was sentenced to 78 months in prison, three years of supervised release and ordered to pay more than $6,700 in restitution for a spree of bank robberies in Southeaster Pennsylvania last year, federal authorities said.
Michael Edmondson in September 2019 pleaded guilty to a four-count indictment charging him with robbing four banks in Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks, and Philadelphia counties, First Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams said.
The charges arose from Edmondson’s early 2019 crime spree, targeting the Wells Fargo Bank in Trevose on Feb. 19; the Citizens Bank in Havertown’s Giant Foods on Feb. 24; the Wells Fargo Bank in King of Prussia on Feb. 27; and the Santander Bank on Market Street in Philadelphia on March 6, Williams said.
