The U.S. Attorney’s office said 21-year-old Dakota Shareef Walker was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to bank robberies in Kansas, Missouri, Wyoming and two in Idaho.

The robberies happened between November 2016 and January of 2017.

The banks robbed were in Topeka, Kansas; Kansas City, Missouri; Evanston, Wyoming; and Malad City and Preston, Idaho.

In each robbery, Walker handed the tellers notes warning them not to activate any alarms or make any sudden moves before escaping with money.
