Officials with the FBI report four suspects who were convicted of a September 10, 2016 robbery of a U.S. Bank location in the Omaha area were sentenced Tuesday, for their roles in carrying out the robbery. 23-year old Marcus Warren, 22-year old Steven Muldrew, 25-year old Shaun Murph Jr., and 24-year old Freddie Johnson IV were arrested on September 10, 2016 after being pursued by the FBI and the Omaha Police Department (OPD) shortly after the robbery occurred.

Sentencing was carried out by the Douglas County, NE., District Court on August 8th 2017. Warren, Muldrew, and Murph received a sentence of 20—25 years while Johnson was sentenced to 14—18 years.
