Bearded Bank Robber Sentenced

WCBE 90.5FM | By Jim Letizia

The man federal prosecutors have dubbed the "Bad Beard Bandit" was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison for robbing seven banks in Columbus, Dublin and Worthington over an eight-month span. 55-year-old Kenneth Horsley pleaded guilty last September to the heists that started in mid 2012 and ended early last year. Prosecutors say he wore a fake beard in all of the robberies.
