KANSAS CITY, KN—Paul G. Rayford, 33, Kansas City, Mo., has pleaded guilty to an attempted bank robbery that was prevented by FBI agents who locked the bank doors to keep the robbers out, U.S. Attorney Lanny Welch said today. He also pleaded guilty to one count of carrying a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
According to a criminal complaint, Rayford and two other men were under surveillance by the FBI on Oct. 22, 2009, when they attempted to rob Interstate Federal Savings Bank at 1919 N. 78th in Kansas City, Kan. As Rayford and another man approached the bank wearing masks, two agents inside the bank locked the bank doors to keep them out. The three men were arrested as they attempted to leave the bank parking lot.
