A Spokane Valley bank robber arrested less than 90 minutes after the heist has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison.

Jesse R. Adams, 44, received 46 months in prison Monday after pleading guilty to first-degree robbery before Superior Court Judge Tari Eitzen.

He was arrested last April after a gunpoint hold-up at Washington Trust Bank, 301 N. Argonne Road.

Police reviewing surveillance footage recognized  Adams from a domestic incident investigation a week earlier. He was arrested after officers spotted him walking through the parking lot at his apartment complex, 10101 E. Main Ave.

The robbery apparently didn't net Adams much cash - he's only required to pay $139 restitution.

Adams has previous felony convictions for theft and forgery.
