11/23/13 - In addition to federal bank robbery charges, a Lansing-area man has now entered a plea to charges for two bank heists in Livingston County. 43-year-old Todd White pleaded guilty as charged to five counts of armed robbery that were filed in connection with the March 18th holdup of the PNC Bank on West Grand River in Brighton, as well as the April 26th robbery of the 1st National Bank on Challis Road. Prosecutors agreed to nothing as part of the deal and White will be sentenced as a 4th time habitual offender on December 12th in Livingston County Circuit Court. Meanwhile, White faces up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced February 28th on federal charges in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids. He pleaded guilty to two counts of armed bank robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm in exchange for three other counts being dropped for his part in robbing the Independent Bank in Williamston on May 24th.
