The sentencing date for a man found guilty in the 2017 robbery of PNC Bank is set for October 8, according to federal court records.

Dannie Simon Parker Jr. is scheduled to appear before District Judge James C. Dever III in Raleigh at 9 a.m.

In April, a federal jury in Raleigh found Parker guilty of robbing PNC Bank off Julian R. Allsbrook Highway in December of 2017.

The jury found Parker guilty on count one of the indictment, which charged that he by force and violence, or by intimidation, took, from the person and presence of another, money belonging to and in the care, custody, control, management, and possession of PNC Bank.

On December 28, 2017, Parker, entered PNC at 1180 Julian R. Allsbrook Highway wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, brown boots, and sunglasses.

He approached the bank teller supervisor and presented a note demanding money in certain denominations and instructing, “no funny business.”

The supervisor walked with the defendant to the teller window and provided him with the money as instructed. The defendant told the supervisor repeatedly to “stay calm.” The defendant could be seen clearly on bank surveillance footage.

While handing cash over to the defendant, the supervisor triggered a silent bank alarm. She also gave the defendant a set of bait bills, a stack of cash that included a GPS tracker hidden inside. The defendant then fled the bank.

Using the GPS tracking data, the Roanoke Rapids Police Department encountered the defendant on Interstate 95. In his possession was the cash from the robbery, along with the clothes worn during the robbery, and the demand note presented. The defendant was arrested on scene.
