Wichita man sentenced for Intrust robbery
David Spenst, a 46-year-old man from Wichita, pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery.
Spenst said that on Oct. 15, 2012, he told an assistant manger at a west Wichita Intrust Bank he had a gun and a bomb. The worker put money in a manila envelope and gave it to Spenst.
The Wichita Police Department released video footage of the robbery, and got a tip where the robber might be. Spenst was found two days after the robbery at the Drury Hotel. Investigators found an air pistol, a can covered in tape to look like a bomb and a shirt that said, "Cheese Steak," which Spenst wore during the robbery.
David Spenst was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison.
