(KLZA)-- The man accused of robbing the Citizens Bank & Trust in Mound City on December 21, 2022 has agreed to plea deal that could land him in federal prison for up to 20 years.
41-year-old Marvin J. McWhorter III of Ottawa, Kansas recentlly pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of bank robbery.
McWhorter made off with $4,445 from the robbery after entering the bank and ordering the teller to give him all of the money in the drawer. It appeared McWhorter was holding a handgun during the robbery.
McWhorter exited the bank and drove off in a black Chevrolet Malibu that had the work “CHEVY” in block white lettering across the top of the windshield.
The following day, McWhorter contacted a towing company in St. Joseph to pickup the Malibu in Forest City. The tow driver picked up the car and McWhorter. A local citizen recognized the car from the description and contacted law enforcement, who in turn contacted the tow truck driver and had him pull over and wait for authorities.
Following an altercation and with help from a passerby, the tow driver and passerby got McWhorter to the ground and held him until law enforcement arrived.
A presentence investigation will be conducted prior to sentencing.
