Re.: PA man gets 10 yrs NJSP in bank robbery

David L. Verdi (DOB 6/16/66), of Springfield PA has been sentenced to ten years in New Jersey state prison resulting from his guilty plea to first-degree armed robbery of a Sun Bank branch in Logan Township, Gloucester County NJ on June 1, 2010.

Under his April 1, 2011 agreement to plead guilty, Verdi must serve 85 percent of his sentence before he is eligible for parole, Superior Court Judge Walter L. Marshall Jr. said in imposing the prison term May 13, 2011.

Verdi acknowledged he approached a bank teller with a note asserting he had a gun and demanding cash be placed in a bag. A short time after fleeing in a vehicle with $1180, Verdi was stopped by police on Route I-295 in East Greenwich NJ. The getaway car had been stolen in Ocean City NJ, another offense to which Verdi has pleaded guilty in Cape May County. He is awaiting sentencing there.
