United States Attorney W. WALTER WILKINS stated that Eric Lee Scott, age 36, of Florida City, Florida, pled guilty in federal court to unarmed bank robbery, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2113(a). United States District Judge Terry L. Wooten accepted the plea and will sentence Scott at a later date.
On September 11, 2008, Scott entered the Horry County State Bank at 2301 Highway 701 North in Conway, shouting demands for money. Scott gave a note to a teller and required the teller to put money into a small backpack then ran out of the bank. Scott subsequently abandoned the car, and investigators traced it to Scott’s nephew. Scott was later arrested in Florida.
Mr. Wilkins stated the maximum penalty Scott can receive is a fine of $250,000.00 and imprisonment for 20 years.
The case was investigated by agents of the Horry County Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney William E. Day, II, of the Florence office handled the case.
