PORTLAND — Officials say a man who robbed a bank in Portland has been sentenced to more than nine years in federal prison.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 46-year-old Wes Edward Hamman was sentenced Tuesday.
In January, a federal jury found Hamman guilty of bank robbery in April 2016.
Court documents say he wore a black hat, sunglasses and surgical mask when he entered the bank, approached a teller and demanded cash.
Documents say the teller gave him cash that included five bait bills and a tracking device which police tracked to a taxi. Police stopped the vehicle and arrested Hamman.
The attorney’s office says Hamman also tried twice to escape custody.
Hamman also has been convicted of robbery in Nevada and Washington state.
