ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Authorities say an Albuquerque man has pleaded guilty to an armed bank robbery charge.
Prosecutors say 22-year-old Isaiah Gallegos entered his plea Tuesday in federal court.
Gallegos was arrested last year on a criminal complaint.
He and four co-defendants were accused of robbing a US Bank branch on March 30, 2016.
Three of the men remained in a vehicle while the fourth entered the bank, threatened to shoot the bank employees and demanded that two bank tellers place cash into a plastic bag.
Gallegos says he acted as lookout while his co-defendants robbed the bank.
Prosecutors say Gallegos faces a sentence of up to 25 years in federal prison.
He remains in custody pending a sentencing hearing.
