(KSL News) You may remember a dramatic robbery that played out at a credit union in Orem and grabbed national attention.

The man who jumped over the counter, tackled a woman and held her at gunpoint has received his punishment.

A judge sentenced Junior Pale Fe'a to five years to life in prison for aggravated robbery.

At the sentencing, the victim, Angie Hirsche told the judge she wanted justice, not revenge.

Fe'a's friends and family told the judge the attack was out of character for the loving father and dedicated LDS church member. They say it was brought on by financial desperation.
