Jack Phillips, Tony Williams and Dean Douglas are all charged with first degree robbery.

Mobile Police say two men walked into the Regions Bank at 2720 Spring Hill Avenue just after 3:00 p.m. on tuesday wearing ski masks and sunglassses.

Police tell us that after the robbery, they spotted the getaway car on Gordon Smith Drive. When they pulled the car over, three men got out and tried to escape.

Police believe that Phillips was the getaway driver.

Now, check out the video attached to this story. You'll hear and see two of the men talking to the camera. Phillips said he robbed the bank so he could live it up at the casinos.

Family and friends are shocked! Jessica Harrison knows two of the men arrested."I know Tony and I know Jack and they are really good people. They really are. I'm not trying to take up for them because what they did was wrong. I do believe they do need to serve their time but in the long run they will learn a big lesson from it."

The penalty for a state charge of 1st degree robbery ranges from 10-99 years in prison! The three men haven't been charged federally... yet.
