United States Attorney W. Walter Wilkins stated today that Eric Lee Scott, age 38, of Florida City, Florida, was sentenced in federal court in Florence, South Carolina, for bank robbery, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2113(a). United States District Judge Terry L. Wooten sentenced Scott to 90 months in prison, followed by three years supervised release, and ordered him to pay restitution of $2,019.00.
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, instructing her to put money into a small backpack. Scott then ran out of the bank with the backpack and drove away. Scott subsequently abandoned the car, and investigators traced it to Scott’s nephew. Scott was later arrested in Florida.
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.
