Hogg, 23, from Humble, Texas, was sentenced in Seattle for violent robberies across six states, injuring multiple ATM repair technicians and stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
He pleaded guilty to four counts of bank robbery and two counts of attempted bank robbery. His accomplice, Seth Coles Body, was sentenced earlier to 10 years in prison.
The pair targeted ATMs in Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Texas, Maine, and Mississippi over eight months and must pay nearly $770,000 in restitution to victims and banks.
