Feds: Espanola man pleads guilty to a bank robbery charge

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An Espanola man has pleaded guilty to a bank robbery charge. Prosecutors say 24-year-old Troy Montoya entered his plea Tuesday in federal court in Albuquerque. Montoya and two co-defendants were arrested last year on a criminal complaint stemming from the Oct. 6 robbery of the People's Bank in Red River. At sentencing, prosecutors say Montoya faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison. His sentencing hearing has yet to be scheduled.
