FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A man accused of robbing a Fayetteville bank has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Danny Ray Madison, 58, of Nashville, was arrested in January in connection to the robbery of First Security Bank on the 3400 block of W. Wedington Drive.
A police report says bank employees told police the man threatened them with a gun and kept one hand in his pocket.
The report says the man handed a bag to the clerk and demanded the money from both teller drawers.
Madison was later tracked down and arrested at a bus station.
At the time of his arrest, Madison had a large amount of cash in his pockets, according to the report.
In April, Madison changed his plea from not guilty to guilty to one count of bank robbery.
During a sentencing hearing Wednesday morning, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with three years of supervised release. He’s also ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and $1,540 in restitution.
While Madison was sentenced in his federal case, he still has a jury trial related to a state case for the robbery scheduled in Washington County for Nov. 8.
