Morrison, 59, of Braddock Hills, Pennsylvania, was handed down a 120-month sentence by U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Investigators pieced together the crime following Morrison’s apprehension. After entering the bank and demanding money, Morrison fled the scene on foot. He was observed discarding his mask and other potential evidence into a nearby dumpster. Law enforcement officers were able to recover these items, and DNA analysis from the mask provided a crucial match to Morrison. His criminal history, which includes prior convictions for armed bank robbery, robbery, and access device fraud, was also a factor in the sentencing. The prosecution was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Clayton Reid and Carly Nogay. This case was a collaborative effort involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the West Virginia State Police, and the Wheeling Police Department.
