Both Galion men that were arrested and charged in an Ontario bank robbery that involved taking hostages have pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court.
Twenty-four-year-old Chris Hill entered his guilty plea last week in exchange for a sentencing recommendation of 25 years. Hill is believed to have been the driver in the robbery where the family of the Ontario KeyBank manager was held hostage and the manager then forced to go to the bank and get the two men money, almost $195,000.
The second defendant, 19-year-old Taylor Crisman, pleaded guilty to charges Thursday in the district court in Cleveland without the benefit of an agreed to sentencing recommendation.
Crisman could be sentenced to life in prison when both men are sentenced on Jan. 19.
