PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- A 44-year-old Fall River man has been sentenced to more than 22 years for robbing $82,000 from a West Greenwich bank where he and an accomplice tied up employees at gunpoint in 2011, according to a news release issued Monday by the office of U.S. Attorney Peter F. Neronha.
U.S. District Court Judge William E. Smith also ordered Craig A. Carey to serve 5 years of supervised release upon completion of his prison term, says the release.
Previously, Carey had pleaded guilty to conspiracy, bank robbery, wielding a firearm during a crime of violence, and illegal possession of a firearm as a felon.
The matter was investigated by the West Greenwich police, the Rhode Island State Police and the FBI.
