Bank robber won’t pay fine but will do time

A bank robber from National City who crashed his truck into a San Diego Police car has been sentenced to seven years and eight months in state prison.

Oscar Esteban Valle, 28, was not ordered to pay any restitution back to the three tellers he robbed because almost all of the $9,800 was recovered, said Deputy District Attorney Jim Koerber on Aug. 6.

Valle held up the Wells Fargo bank branch on Balboa Avenue near Genesee Avenue in Clairemont at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 20, 2014.

Valle crashed his truck into a patrol vehicle and another car after driving the wrong way on Interstate 8 at the Sports Arena Boulevard exit ramp.

Valle received credit for 11 months in jail since his arrest and he was fined.
