Pocomoke City man sentenced in PNC bank robbery

A Pocomoke City man convicted in the robbery of a PNC bank was sentenced to serve 10 years in prison by a Circuit Court judge on Thursday.

Tommy Allen Grady, 31, is the second man convicted in the September armed bank robbery.

Matthew Devin Nielson, a 27-year-old Princess Anne resident, robbed the bank with a BB gun and left with $3,750 in cash on Sept. 8, according to the state's attorneys office. Grady drove the getaway car.

The two men robbed the bank to support their heroin drug addiction, according to the prosecutor.

Grady pleaded guilty to armed robbery in February.

Nielson pleaded guilty to armed robbery on March 12 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
