Omaha Man Sentenced for Armed Bank Robbery

United States Attorney Susan T. Lehr announced that Madison S. Hill, age 30, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced on September 11, 2024, in federal court in Omaha, for bank robbery and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. Chief United States District Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Hill to 154 months’ imprisonment and to pay $50,000.0 in restitution. There is no parole in the federal system. After his release from prison, Hill will be required to complete a 5-year term of supervised release.

On May 20, 2023, Hill entered a bank in Omaha while brandishing a handgun. Hill jumped over the front counter and began making demands of a bank employee and of another employee who was working in the drive-through serving a customer. Hill demanded the employees open the vault and teller drawers. The employees complied and Hill was able to leave the bank with over $76,000.00. A customer who witnessed the robbery observed Hill leaving the bank and pursued Hill while calling police. Law Enforcement responded to the bank and investigated the robbery, eventually identifying Hill through the assistance crime stoppers tips and other community assistance.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Great Plains Violent Crimes Task Force and the Omaha Police Department.
