LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA – A Leesburg man accused of robbing three area banks this spring has pleaded guilty to charges brought against him in Loudoun County.
Paul Peter Gerardi, who is accused of robbing a Truist Bank in Middleburg on March 24, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery, a class five felony charge, in Loudoun Circuit Court.
The court dismissed a failure-to-appear charge against Gerardi.
Loudoun Now reports that Gerardi admitted to being the getaway driver for the man accused of being his partner, Josiah Jackson, who stole just over $1,000 from a cash drawer at the bank before fleeing in a car with Gerardi. Jackson took his own life after a standoff with police in April.
Gerardi is also faces felony conspiracy to commit robbery charges in Prince William County, where he has a preliminary hearing scheduled for November, and in Fairfax County, where he has a hearing scheduled for January. He is accused of robbing a Wells Fargo bank in Great Falls on March 30 and of robbing a Capital One bank in Gainesville on April 1.
