During today's change of plea hearing, Gallahan pled guilty to an information, and admitted robbing the bank by approaching a bank teller and suggesting to the teller that he had a gun or weapon. Gallahan further admitted confessing to the robbery several hours later when police tracked him down at an apartment complex.

Gallahan has been in federal custody since his arrest and remains detained pending a sentencing hearing which has yet to be scheduled. At sentencing, Gallahan faces a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
This case was investigated by the Albuquerque office of the FBI and the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly A. Brawley.
