CUMBERLAND, Md. A 68-year-old repeat bank robber last week was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the March 16, 2012 robbery of the First Peoples FCU branch in Lonaconing.
Alexander Devault, Jr., entered the branch around 2:40 p.m. and demanded money from the tellers. Shortly after leaving the credit union with an undisclosed sum of money, Devault was walking when he was apprehended by a Sheriff’s deputy. He had the stolen cash with him.
Devault is awaiting trial on a felony bank robbery charge in connection with the Feb. 13, 2012 armed robbery of a First United Bank & Trust branch.
Devault also was arrested in the 1994 armed robbery of the First United branch in Grantsville. Devault later was sentenced to a prison term of 25 years for the 1994 Garrett County bank robbery.
