Three Blackshear residents were sentenced to prison terms Wednesday in connection with a 2010 armed bank robbery in Chauncey.

Brittany Riner, 25, drove 53-year-old Noel Arnold and 25-year-old Jimmy Lee McBride from Waycross to the Chauncey Citizens Bank & Trust. About 9 a.m. Sept. 2, 2010, Arnold and McBride entered the bank and forced two employees into separate rooms, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Arnold and McBride told the two employees at gunpoint to sit on the ground with their eyes closed and then robbed the bank of about $25,400, according to a news release.

Arnold was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison while Riner was sentenced to 15 years. McBride was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison. All three defendants must serve another five years of supervised release after their prison terms are complete, and they must pay the bank restitution, according to the release.
