A man pleaded guilty Monday to bank robbery and weapons charges related to a string of 2010 bank robberies, including an armed bank robbery in Redmond, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Bradley William Monical, whose most recent address is the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem, pleaded guilty to three armed bank robberies that occurred in Medford, Klamath Falls and Redmond and to using a firearm in connection with a violent crime based on his use of a handgun in the Medford and Klamath Falls robberies.

Monical also pleaded guilty to three armed bank robberies that occurred in Washington and Idaho. Monical was in custody on pending bank robbery charges when he escaped from the Jackson County jail on Nov. 19, 2012.

He was later found in Oregon City and arrested by U.S. marshals. At the time of his arrest, he was found with his girlfriend, Carolyn Gibson.

Gibson pleaded guilty to concealing a person from arrest for providing money and a vehicle for Monical after his escape. Gibson was sentenced to probation on Feb. 2.

Monical is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 23.
