WICHITA – A 29-year-old Wichita man has pleaded guilty in connection with an armed bank robbery last year. David L. Hollis pleaded guilty to one count of brandishing a firearm during a Dec. 1, 2010, robbery at Equity Bank in Wichita.

In his plea, he admitted he was one of three men who entered the bank with their faces covered and wearing hooded sweatshirts. Two of the men were brandishing firearms. They collected money from tellers’ drawers and the bank’s vault before fleeing in stolen cars.

The robbers drove to an apartment complex at 5400 E. 21st, where they stopped their car and fled on foot. Officers followed Hollis into Building 12, where they arrested him. They recovered items of clothing Hollis had hidden in a fire extinguisher box. Investigators matched Hollis to DNA found on a Bersa handgun in one of the getaway cars. There was dye from an exploded security dye pack on his shirt.

Sentencing is set for Feb. 15. Prosecutors say they will ask for a sentence of 84-months in federal prison.

Co-defendants include, Shelan D. Peters, who was sentenced to 97-months. Peters was shot during the chase after the bank robbery.
