ST. LOUIS, MO. -- A second suspect who admitted robbing two area banks last summer is sentenced for his crimes.

This week, the federal judge in the case ordered William Alan Wolfe, 29, of Fulton to spend 30 years in prison without parole.

In July of last year, Wolfe held up the Bank of Brookfield-Purdin branch in Winigan, Missouri, the Community State Bank in Clarence and a bank in Holden, Missouri.

The defendant pleaded guilty in April to two counts of armed robbery and one count of using a firearm in a violent crime.

Wolfe admitted stealing more than $25,500 from the Winigan bank.

This past June, Wolfe's accomplice in the bank robberies, Michael Leak, 20, of Columbia, was sentenced to 15 years in prison without parole.

The judge ordered the two men to pay more than $42,000 in restitution to the banks they robbed.
