A man who held up a bank in Taney County earlier this year has pleaded guilty.

Taney County Prosecutor Jeff Merrell says Chad Moreland, 38, of Roland, Arkansas entered the Great Southern Bank on West Highway 76 in Branson on January 27th, approached a bank teller with his right hand in his pocket and demanded money stating, “this is a robbery, give me all your money,” then fled the scene.

An eyewitness had jotted down the getaway vehicles license number and authorities arrested Moreland that same evening at his home in Arkansas.

Moreland, who pleaded guilty without a plea agreement and as a prior and persistent offender, face up to life in prison when he is sentenced on November 18th.
