Accused Bank Robber Hit Key Bank 1 Day After Release From Jail
The 40-year-old Maple Heights man was released from prison one day before the alleged robbery. He was in jail for robbing the same bank.
MAPLE HEIGHTS, OH — The definition of insanity is doing the same thing, over and over and over, and expecting different results. It's a definition that Markiko Sonnie Lewis clearly never learned.
The 40-year-old Maple Heights man was indicted this week for robbing a Key Bank in Cleveland. He allegedly robbed that bank one day after being released from prison — time he was serving for robbing the exact same Key Bank.
Lewis is facing one count of bank robbery. He allegedly stole $1,044 from the 15000 St. Clair Avenue Key Bank branch. Then police snagged him.
