At an Alpine Bank in Montrose, a man described as in his late 20s and between 6′ and 6′ 2″, unshaven, and with sideburns held up a teller at gunpoint received the money and then fled the scene.

A conviction carries up to 20 years in federal prison and more if a deadly weapon is used.

As a former Assistant U.S Attorney, I have had experience in many cases like these. These are very serious charges and if you are accused of a federal crime, you will need a very good attorney experienced in federal criminal charges. As an Assistant District Attorney, I tried over 70 criminal jury trials, ranging from murder, armed robbery, sexual assaults of adults and children and kidnapping, to DUI, assault and simple drug possession.
