A Kansas man pleaded guilty today to armed bank robbery, U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister said. 22-year-old Kenya Breakfield of Olathe, Kan. pleaded guilty to one count of armed bank robbery and one count of discharging a firearm during the robbery. In his plea, Breakfield admitted that on Oct. 21, 2018, he and a co-defendant robbed Wells Fargo Bank at 2000 W. 103rd Street in Leawood, Kan. Both men were wearing masks of the comic book character Venom and carrying handguns.
