FORMER NEW YORK COP PLEADS GUILTY TO BANK ROBBERY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS - September 1, 2009
A former rookie police officer has pleaded guilty to holding up the same New York City bank twice -- both inside jobs with a teller. Christian Torres told a federal judge in Manhattan on Tuesday that he became a bandit because he was broke and afraid he'd have to drop out of the police academy. The 23-year-old Torres already had been sentenced to 121 months in prison in a Pennsylvania bank heist. The bank teller was sentenced to 30 months earlier this year for giving Torres information that helped in all the holdups. Torres faces up to 97 months in prison at sentencing on Nov. 6.
