KANSAS CITY, KAN. – A Kansas City man has been sentenced to more than 13 years in federal prison for robbing the Country Club Bank in Leavenworth, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.

Dale K. Hill, 52, Kansas City, Mo., was sentenced to 161 months in federal prison. Hill pleaded guilty one count of armed bank robbery and one count of brandishing a firearm during the robbery. In his plea, he admitted that on Sept. 13, 2011, he and co-defendant Donnique H. Kelley entered the Country Club Bank at 2310 S. 4th Street in Leavenworth.
