Warren Christopher Davis learned his fate Monday for holding up a Deptford bank in 2011 with a Uzi-style weapon, terrorizing employees in the process.
A Paulsboro man who brandished an Uzi when he robbed a Deptford bank will spend the next 13 years in prison. Warren Christopher Davis, 32, of the 200 block of West Broad Street, Paulsboro, admitted in Feburary to holding up The Bank in Deptford on May 9, 2011. He was sentenced Monday.
