NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – A man arrested after a bank robbery in Norfolk in the summer of 2023 was just sentenced for the crime.

Ricky J. Johnson, now 45, will serve two and a half years in prison.

He was taken into custody shortly after police responded to the Chartway Federal Credit Union at 132 Kempsville Road, near Newtown Road and the Virginia Beach city line, on June 2, 2023 for a report of a bank robbery, police said.

The call for robbery came in around 11:50 a.m., with bank tellers advising the officers who responded that a man entered the bank and gave the teller a note implying a robbery and demanding money, police said, as the teller complied and the man left the bank on foot.

No injuries were reported.

The investigation led to charges for Johnson of robbery and the unlawful wearing of a mask.

On November 20, Johnson pleaded guilty to the robbery charge.

He was sentenced on Feb. 9, 2024. Once he is released from prison, Johnson will have to complete three years of uniform good behavior.
