Wilson then approached an elderly customer from behind and held her at knifepoint while forcing her towards the teller’s counter.
Wilson demanded currency from the bank tellers, while threatening to cut the customer’s throat if they did not comply. The tellers, in fear for the customer’s safety, provided the defendant with around $6,550 in United States currency.
Wilson is scheduled to be sentenced on June 6, and he faces a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties.
