A Miami County man was sentenced Monday to six months in federal prison for robbing a bank in Overland Park, U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said. In addition he will serve two years on supervised release to include six months home confinement.
Paul A Sundquist, 30, Louisburg, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery. In his plea, he admitted that on Sept. 19, 2016, he robbed the Stanley Bank, 7835 W.151st in Overland Park, Kan.
Sundquist showed a clerk a note demanding money before receiving the cash and fleeing the bank, according to the information in the plea. A bystander got a partial tag number on Sundquist’s pickup truck. Sundquist was monitoring police radio traffic on his cell phone. When he heard police had his tag number he called 911 and surrendered.
Beall commended the FBI, the Overland Park Police Department and Assistant U.S. Attorney Terra Morehead for their work on the case.
