Boston Man Sentenced to Over 10 Years in Prison for Bank Robbery

BOSTON – A Boston man was sentenced today in federal court in Boston for bank robbery and escape charges.

Kim Daley, 55, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton to 125 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release. Daley was also sentenced to a five year concurrent sentence on the escape conviction. In April 2024, Daley pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery and one count of escape from custody. Daley was indicted by a federal grand jury in September 2022.

In July 2017, Daley received a 100 month federal sentence followed by three years of supervised release for federal bank robbery convictions. On May 9, 2022, while serving the remainder of the custodial portion of that federal sentence at a Boston Residential Reentry Center (“RRC”), a facility in which he was lawfully confined at the direction of the Attorney General, Daley left the RRC with his belongings without permission and never returned. His whereabouts were unknown and he was classified as an escape on that date.  

On June 20, 2022, Daley walked into a TD Bank in Cambridge, passed a note to the teller demanding all the money and robbed the bank of $560 in US currency. Bank surveillance captured Daley entering the bank, passing the note to the teller and then leaving the bank a short time later with cash. Within approximately 40 minutes of the robbery, Daley was arrested in Cambridge and found to have $560 in US currency on his person.

United States Attorney Leah B. Foley; Jodi Cohen, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Division; and Christine Elow Cambridge Chief of Police made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Suzanne Jacobus of the Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.
