Chicago man gets 17 years for Nebraska credit- union robbery

A Chicago man has been sentenced to more than 17 years in prison for robbing a credit union in Kearney, Nebraska.

In Lincoln, Nebraska, U. S. District Judge Richard Kopf sentenced 29- year- old Patrick Wigley on Friday to 17 years and six months in prison for the October robbery of the Kearney Eaton Employees Union.

A co- defendant, 27- yearold Thomas Dunlap, was sentenced last month to just over 11 years for his involvement. A third defendant, 28- year- old Clifton Hudson, awaits trial.

Dunlap and Wigley entered the credit union on Oct. 17, Dunlap pulled a gun, and the men took the money from a teller’s drawer and vault after gathering employees into an office and binding their hands with zip ties.
