A man from Brooklyn Park was sentenced to nearly six years in prison Friday for robbing an Inver Grove Heights credit union last fall.
Herman Wilson, 44, had pleaded guilty in May to robbing the Minnesota Building Trades Federal Credit Union last Oct. 8.
He admitted stealing $21,459 from the credit union that morning at gunpoint, threatening to kill employees.
Wilson entered the credit union wearing a surgical mask, goggles and a neon construction vest. He carried a kitty-litter bucket that held a black bag and a semi-automatic handgun.
Employees were able to provide FBI agents with a description of Wilson and his car and he was arrested on Dec. 2.
He pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery and was sentenced to 71 months in federal prison.
