Mark David Anderson, 59, robbed two banks in the same week, one while holding a steak knife, prosecutors say.
SAN FRANCISCO — A Bay Area man who allegedly robbed two banks within a week was sentenced to probation for three years, court records show.
Mark David Anderson, 59, pleaded guilty last December to one count of bank robbery, a federal offense. He was sentenced in mid-May by U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson, court records show. Anderson’s attorney wrote in court papers that he has a mental illness stemming from a traumatic brain injury after being struck in the head with a pipe during a robbery in New York City. The lawyer wrote that Anderson was originally charged by the San Francisco District Attorney and was undergoing a mental health diversion program that was upended when federal prosecutors took over the case..
When police identified Anderson as a suspect and came to arrest him at the Golden Eagle Hotel, he was being loaded into an ambulance that very moment, for a medical emergency. Officers noted he was wearing the same shirt then as he’d worn during one of the robberies, according to prosecutors.
