Uniontown, PA (AP) -- A man who claims to be related to missing Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa has been sentenced to nearly 10 years in prison for robbing a bank in western Pennsylvania.
A federal judge also ordered 48-year-old William James Hoffa Jr. of Uniontown to repay $1,500. He was arrested because his planned getaway driver was a government informant.
The FBI was waiting for Hoffa when he showed up to rob the bank, about 45 miles south of Pittsburgh.
