One-time Bellator MMA competitor Sergio da Silva was convicted of third-degree robbery for holding up a Queens, N.Y., bank in August 2017, according to a recent report from the New York Daily News.
On Aug. 24, 2017, a masked da Silva allegedly jumped the counter of a local Citibank and threatened to shoot a teller before leaving with $46,000. Jurors deliberated for four days before finding da Silva guilty of third-degree robbery. The fighter avoided a first-degree robbery charge, which was contingent upon him having a gun during the incident.
Da Silva faces up to seven years in prison for his charge.
