Former Beaver County basketball star Herb Pope is going to federal prison. U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon on Wednesday sentenced him to 48 months behind bars for using a gun to rob a Sewickley bank in 2016 with his half-brother. The sentence was a substantial departure below federal guidelines, and she also gave him credit for time served, which is about three years since his 2016 arrest. The 30-year-old Pope was an Aliquippa star who excelled at Seton Hall University and later played in Europe. He pleaded guilty in 2017 to robbing Sewickley Savings Bank on Feb. 12, 2016, with his half-brother, Tyler Bridges.
