A Nesquehoning lawyer who robbed a Schuylkill County bank pleaded in court today.

Steven M. Cormier, 58, pleaded guilty to robbery, theft and receiving stolen property.He pleaded nolo contendere to terroristic threats.

He’ll be reporting for transport to prison on Oct. 25.Cormier was charged by state police at Schuylkill Haven on Oct. 13, 2015, with 12 felony counts of robbery, with a threat of immediate serious injury and robbery, demanding money from a financial institution; 12 felony counts of terroristic threats; felony counts of theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property; and a misdemeanor count of possession of instruments of crime.According to police, Cormier was arrested a short time after he robbed the Wells Fargo Bank branch office in the Fairlane Village Mall in Norwegian Township. Troopers said he entered the bank around 10:45 a.m. and approached employees, demanding that he wanted money now and if he doesn’t get money, “things will get ugly.”After a teller filled a plastic bag Cormier supplied, he left the bank.Shortly after, Pottsville city police stopped Cormier. He was taken back to the bank and identified as the robber by three witnesses.A search warrant was obtained for his vehicle and found was the clothing he was wearing in the robbery, along with the plastic bag that was used and all the money that was taken.
