KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Prosecutors say a Missouri man has been sentenced to 11 years in federal prison for robbing a credit union with a plastic gun.

The U.S. attorney’s office said Monday in a news release that 57-year-old Stephen McCrary of Raytown had pleaded guilty in February to one count of bank robbery. He admitted he stole $3,815 from the Community America Credit Union in Kansas City, Missouri.

Court documents say McCrary approached the teller on Sept. 7, 2016, and pulled out what appeared to be a firearm. He pointed it at the teller and demanded “all of the money in the drawer.”
