The serial bank robber authorities dubbed “Average Joe” pleaded guilty Monday to one count of robbery for a 1999 heist at a Springdale Key Bank.

        Daniel T. Schwarberg, whose ordinary looks earned him the tag, will be sentenced Dec. 13 by Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Kraft.

        Mr. Schwarberg, 44, was believed to have committed 17 bank robberies between 1998 and 2000 along Interstate 75 from Kentucky to Ohio.

        Besides Monday's plea, the Verona, Ky., man has pleaded guilty to at least 11 other robberies and been sentenced to 63 months in federal prison.

        In the Springdale robbery committed July 28, 1999, authorities say Mr. Schwarberg used a handgun to threaten a bank employee and then fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of money.
