GLASGOW — One man has been sentenced and another will soon be sentenced in connection with the Aug. 10, 2007, robbery of Glasgow’s US Bank.

In August of this year, Joshua D. Blackwell, 20, of Sellersburg, Ind., pleaded guilty to driving the getaway car in robberies of Glasgow's US Bank at 100 Wall Street and the Regions Bank on Jinkleville Road in Paducah.

He was sentenced to three years and 10 months in United States District Court in Louisville for two counts of aiding and abetting Rodney Prewitt.

Prewitt, Blackwell’s co-defendant, took $7,120 cash from the Glasgow branch of the US Bank and an additional $6,000 from the Regions Bank in Paducah.

Prewitt will be sentenced later this month.
