A man described by authorities as a violent career criminal was sentenced Monday to life in prison after his most recent run-in with the law, robbing an Edgewater bank.
Henry Wayne Collier was reportedly on federal probation for other bank robberies and had recently been released from prison after “a previous crime spree” when he robed the Bank of America at 1900 S. Ridgewood Ave. last year, police said.

Citing Florida Statute 775.084, Collier was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of discretionary early release, other than a pardon, executive clemency or conditional medical release.
In March 2024, Collier entered the Bank of America and produced a note to the bank teller at gunpoint before leaving, police said.
Police said he was wearing a “long black wig and mask with a white T-shirt (and) a fanny pack with a gun sticking out.”
Collier was arrested a few days later in Georgia and was sentenced earlier this week.
