Randall Scott Courville, 42, of Eunice, is to spend nine months in prison and pay $5,290 restitution for robbing the St. Landry Bank at 2nd Street and Laurel on Jan. 20.
Courville was sentenced Friday by U.S. District Judge Dee D. Drell on one count of bank theft. He was also sentenced to three years of supervised release, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Alexander C. Van Hook.
According to the April 19 guilty plea, Courville entered a bank on North 2nd Street in Eunice on Jan. 20 wearing a surgical mask, hooded sweatshirt and gloves. He walked up to a teller’s station, reached across the counter into the teller’s drawer and removed money. He then moved to another teller’s station and removed money from that teller’s drawer as well. He left the bank with $5,290.
After the robbery, Eunice Police Chief Randy Fontenot said Courville rode up to the bank on a bicycle and walked into bank wearing a purple hooded LSU sweatshirt, surgical mask and gloves.
While Courville was in the bank, someone saw the hooded man enter the bank and removed the bicycle, Fontenot said. Courville fled on foot and made his way to a vehicle, which later was found in Chataignier, he said.
Courville was stopped at about 3 p.m. in Eunice.
The FBI and Eunice Police Department conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph T. Mickel prosecuted the case.
