A former Aliquippa high school basketball star whose legal troubles likely kept him from the NBA will appear before a federal judge in Pittsburgh today on charges he robbed two banks earlier this year. 26-year-old Herbert Pope is charged in the armed robberies of a Wesbanco branch and Sewickley Savings Bank four days apart in February. Pope is charged with robbing the banks along with another man. Pop starred at Aliquippa Junior-Senior High School then played for Seton Hall before graduating in 2013. The 6-foot-9 prep star was shot in 2007 on the day he was to play in a high school all-star game, and later faced weapons charges in unrelated incidents. Pope faces up to 25 years in prison on the most serious charge he faces, armed bank robbery.
