U.S. authorities said Wednesday a man sent to state prison for bank robbery has robbed the same Cleveland bank branch the day after his release.
Federal prosecutors in Cleveland said 40-year-old Markiko Sonnie Lewis was indicted Tuesday on a single count of bank robbery for robbing a Cleveland Key Bank branch April 12. Prosecutors said he took just over $1,000.
The 40-year-old is now facing a federal criminal indictment accusing him of robbing a bank teller "by force, violence, and intimidation" -- a designation that could make his alleged offense punishable by as much as 20 years in prison.
Lewis was sentenced to more than two years in prison in 2016 after pleading guilty to robbing the same bank branch in November 2015, and was subject to three years of probation after his release on April 11, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.
Court records indicate Lewis hasn't been assigned an attorney.
