Hale, United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky.



Robert Scott Manley, age 51, admitted to using force, violence, and intimidation when he robbed four banks in Jefferson County between December 20, 2012 and December 31, 2012. According to information presented in court, Manley threatened bank employees by stating he had a bomb and threatened to detonate the bomb.
