A Chicago man who committed a bank robbery in northwest Iowa only two months after being placed on supervised release for two previous bank robberies was sentenced Wednesday in Sioux City Federal Court to 15 years in federal prison.
40-year-old Del Evans Jr previously pleaded guilty to bank robbery this past September. According to evidence, early in the afternoon on January 22nd, 2024, Evans walked into the Sanborn Savings Bank and handed the teller a note demanding money. Evans obtained cash, exited the bank, and fled on foot. Law enforcement identified Evans through surveillance footage and located his residence, where he peacefully surrendered.
Evans was on supervised release for a 2014 bank robbery spree. He has been convicted of four armed robberies and four more unarmed robberies and an attempted robbery. Evans is being held in the U.S. Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
