Trial set for elderly man charged with robbing Tucson bank
PHOENIX (AP) — An Aug. 21 trial has been scheduled for an elderly man charged with bank robbery in the hold-up of a Tucson credit union earlier this year.
Robert Francis Krebs is charged in the Jan. 12 robbery of a branch of Pyramid Federal Credit Union.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Authorities say Krebs made away with $8,300, but was arrested the next day.
Last summer, he completed a prison sentence for a 1981 bank robbery near Orlando, Florida.
He violated his probation from Florida by failing to inform authorities of his whereabouts.
He has a 1966 conviction in Chicago for embezzlement and convictions for theft and armed robbery in Arizona.
