With about $12,000 to his credit in one bank robbery, Jeffrey Furtney came to Minnesota and grabbed more than $4,000 in another holdup in a Twin Cities suburb.
Furtney, 35, unknown permanent address, pleaded guilty Monday to the two robberies in federal court in Minneapolis.
On Oct. 23, Furtney robbed a Bank of America in Scottsdale, Ariz., of $11,940. About three weeks later, he held up a TCF Bank in a West St. Paul Cub Foods of $4,320.
Sentencing has yet to be scheduled.
