Bank robber gets jail term

A Bennington man will spend the next 3 1/2 to 7 years in prison for robbing a bank. Police said 49-year-old Michael Washington threatened tellers with a drill. He got away with more than $5,000 from the Key Bank in Brunswick, New York. Police caught up to Washington when he tried to spend the money. The cash was tinted red from a dye pack placed in the money bag by a teller.
