An 84-year-old Chicago man has pleaded guilty to taking part in a 1991 stickup that mirrored a Hollywood movie and netted $359,628 from a Michigan bank.
Carmine Jannece eluded authorities for 17 years before his February arrest in Chicago.
The Grand Rapids Press says Jannece and three other men robbed the Citizens Trust and Savings Bank in Saugatuck while wearing masks of ex-presidents.
It happened two months after release of the Patrick Swayze-Keanu Reeves movie "Point Break." In the movie, a gang robs banks while wearing masks of presidents Johnson, Nixon, Carter and Reagan.
Jannece's coconspirators were arrested earlier. Jannece faces up to nine years in prison when he's sentenced July 25 in Illinois federal court.
