Tx. I Just found out that it filled as a state charge. How long will I be inside for?
Depends on the ACTUAL charge.

I have not priors and they have agreed to drop the federal uftap charges if I surrender.
What about the FEDERAL bank robbery law?? Most banks are federally registered and/or FDIC... making robbery a federal offense, not state.

Toby, I am the HPD sgt currently assigned to your case. If you're serious about wanting to resolve this, I can be reached at 713-613-5000 which is the switchboard at the Houston office of the FBI. Give me a day to let the operator know to accept a collect international call. If not, post instructions on this web site on how we can hook-up via some chat service
If that number doesn't work contact

FBI Houston

If outside the United States, contact the nearest United States Embassy or Consulate.

I wouldn't

Personally, if I robbed a bank and was free in Mexico, I would never turn myself in. They will put you in jail for a long time!

The federal bank robbery statute, 18 U.S.C. 2113, provides in pertinent part:

"(a) Whoever, by force and violence, or by intimidation, takes, or attempts to take, from the person or presence of another any property or money or any other thing of value belonging to, or in the care, custody, control, management, or possession of, any bank, credit union, or any savings and loan association . . .

. . . . .

"Shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

"(b) Whoever takes and carries away, with intent to steal or purloin, any property or money or any other thing of value exceeding $100 belonging to, or in the care, custody, control, management, or possession of any bank, credit union, or any savings and loan association, shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; .

I'm not a legal professional, but my opinion is that you would receive at least 10 to 12 years in prison depending on the circumstances (weapons, prior convictions).

Also, FYI Police Officers can lie to you in order to get you to talk/turn yourself in. If you do decide to turn yourself in, talk to a lawyer before you give them any information! If you can't afford one, you will be provided one.

I didn't know there was a state bank robbery charge; it probably just comes under regular robbery criminal statutes.

Toby, are you reading the responses on your threads? It doesn't matter State or Federal, the FBI has an agent on your case, so there is at least a federal charge, the longer you stay away, the more charges they can bring against you. Please call them, the agent is willing to discuss all your issues with you, they can answer your questions. Please contact them.
