LIVINGSTON -- A man who pleaded guilty to robbing $2,120 from the Bank of the Rockies was sentenced to 15 years with the Department of Public Health and Human Services.

Michael Silva, 24, entered a plea agreement in December after undergoing a psychiatric evaluation. Silva's father wrote a letter to District Judge Nels Swandal saying his son was suspected of having bipolar disorder and had been on medication and under counseling for about three years before moving west.

Swandal sentenced Silva to state mental health care, with at least the first five years in a secure facility.
