A man accused of robbing a Seymour bank nearly two years ago, using his son as a getaway driver, and then fleeing the state is scheduled to go on trial in May.
Daniel Hamlett Sr., 53, of New Haven, was captured in Georgia in November 2014, more than 18 months after the April 9, 2013 robbery.
Authorities claim he robbed the Webster Bank at 15 New Haven Road in Seymour while wearing a mask and brandishing a black handgun.
