Officials said the three men sentenced for the 2018 to 2019 incidents were part of a four-person robbery crew, but one of them died in a car crash while trying to flee from police.
Three men were sentenced for their roles in bank robberies committed in rural parts of Texas over four years ago, officials announced on Thursday.The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas said 46-year-old Tony Wayne Mitchell and 33-year-old Kevin McCoy - both from Houston - and 41-year-old Mikell Phillips, from Dallas, pleaded guilty last year to the robberies.
Mitchell was handed a 60-month term of imprisonment and 84 months for the firearms conviction, which must be served consecutively with the other sentence. His total 144-month prison term is set to be immediately followed by five years of supervised release.McCoy received 48 months and Phillips 54 months for the robbery conspiracy. The two will be on supervised release for three years.
"While one of them held a gun, four men robbed banks in small, rural towns and terrorized the employees," U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani said.

This was spliced together with another scene from the same breakfast where Odinga shook hands with Ruto, who was deputy president at the time. However, he did not apologise to Ruto.
