    Montville man admits robbing four banks in state

    A Montville man pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court in Hartford to one count of armed bank robbery. Anthony Hall, 49, robbed a Waterford bank in June 2009. He also admitted that he robbed three other banks in 2008 and 2009.

    According to court documents and statements made in court, Hall robbed a Putnam Bank branch in Ledyard on Jan. 30, 2008, a Webster Bank branch in Waterford on June 11, 2009, a New Alliance Bank branch in East Haven on June 24, 2009, and a Hudson Valley Bank branch in Westport on July 10, 2009.

    In pleading guilty, Hall admitted that he pointed a firearm at a teller during the Ledyard, Waterford and East Haven robberies, which netted a total of $26,441 from the four banks.

    U.S. District Judge Vanessa L. Bryant Bryant scheduled Hall's sentencing for July 27, when he will face a maximum term of 25 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.

    Hall has been in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service in Brooklyn, N.Y. since last August.
