He will undergo a presentence investigation.

Lincoln County Attorney Rebecca Harling went ahead and recommended a 1-3 year sentence.

Steier went inside the bank in Wallace Aug. 13 wearing a mask and carrying what appeared to be a handgun. The tellers told Steier they had no access to the money and it was locked up. He waved the gun around, and then left the bank.

The gun turned out to be a plastic toy.

Black was convicted on Jan. 28 and is scheduled to be sentenced on March 25.
