"Handsome Bandit" Pleads Guilty As Charged

Last updated on Thursday, April 13, 2006

(BLOOMINGTON) - The bank robber known as the “Handsome Bandit” has pleaded guilty to four heists in Bloomington.

37-year old Mark Estanislau was identifed by witnesses because of his clean-cut appearance and the fact he wore a suit during the bank jobs.

The plea deal sets a maximum 20-year jail sentence -- that's down from the 32 years Estanislau could have faced if he'd fought the charges and lost.
