The Washburn University football team's top running back is accused of robbing a Topeka bank.
According to U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom's Office, 21-year-old Vershon D. Moore is charged with one count of bank robbery. In addition, Moore is charged with one count of brandishing a handgun during the robbery.
On August 9th, two tellers who worked for Envista Credit Union, 2015 Southwest 10th Street in Topeka, came out of the credit union carrying containers of cash to refill the credit union's automatic teller machine. Moore, wearing a black hood and mesh mask and driving a white sports utility vehicle, pulled up to the tellers and demanded the money.
As he drove away, one of the tellers got the license plate of the car. Police tracked the car to Moore, who borrowed it from a girlfriend.
Also accused in the case is 22-year-old Traci Bacon, a bank employee. Investigators learned that Bacon, who worked at the bank, had provided Moore with information about how the cash was handled when the ATM was being refilled.
Upon conviction, the bank robbery charge carries a maximum penalty of 25 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000. The firearms charge carries a penalty of not less than seven years and not more than life and a fine up to $250,000.
Moore would have been a Junior on this year's Washburn football team. Last year he was on the MIAA all conference team, leading the conference in rushing.
