TACOMA — Michael John Fenter, the Jefferson County farmer who went on a four-bank robbery spree, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to 10 years in prison, five of supervised release and $86,000 in restitution for three counts of bank robbery, one count of armed bank robbery and one count of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
Fenter pleaded guilty March 18, admitting in his plea agreement that he robbed banks in Seattle, Tacoma, San Francisco and Sacramento.
At today’s sentencing, U.S. District Judge Benjamin H. Settle noted that one of the victim tellers appropriately called Fenter a “terrorist.” The judge said the tellers “had been given a life sentence of reliving the terror” of the bank robberies.
