DENVER — In the city of Denver, Denver County, Colorado, the U.S. Department of Justice announced on November 9 that Justin Victor Velasquez, 43, of Denver, was sentenced to 63 months in federal prison after pleading guilty without a plea agreement to one count of bank robbery.
According to the indictment, Velasquez walked into a Denver-area bank, threw his backpack at the teller and demanded everything in the teller drawer. He fled the scene on a mountain bike with about $1,120 in cash and was caught just blocks away.
The charge was Velasquez's ninth felony conviction. United States District Judge Domenic D. Domenico presided over the sentencing.
The FBI Denver Field Office handled the investigation and the Violent Crime Section of the U.S. Attorney's Office handled the prosecution. The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, case number 25-cr-0267-DDD. U.S. Attorney Peter McNeilly said bank robbers go to prison in Colorado, and FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge Amanda Koldjeski said bank robbery is not a victimless crime and traumatizes witnesses and collateral victims.
