June 19, 2012 — -- A Detroit man is facing 15 months in prison after he was able to withdraw unlimited ATM cash from his Bank of America account that only held a few dollars.

Herrin allegedly told the bank teller he went to Las Vegas with $500 and won $160,000 gambling. While the teller was counting the cash, a Garda courier came into the bank to make a pick up.

Ronald Page, 55, took advantage of a bank mistake that placed his account into a 'pay all' status that allowed him to withdraw unlimited overdrafts, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Detroit said. And withdraw he allegedly did: From August 1 to 18 in 2009, Page hit the ATMs, mostly at casinos, and cashiers --for $1,543,104.

Page, a retired worker after 30 years at General Motors, had maintained an average balance of about $100 in his account from Dec. 1, 2008 to May 31, 2009, according to his indictment.

Page pled guilty on March 7 to theft of bank funds. His sentencing will take place on June 27.

Page could not be reached for comment. His attorney, Richard Morgan, did not immediately return a request for comment.

A spokeswoman for Bank of America provided a statement to ABC News saying, 'We can't provide specifics in regards to Mr. Page's account as it is proprietary and because his case is still in the courts, we are unable to comment.'

Court papers state that Page was a frequent gambler at casinos in the Detroit area and Las Vegas from January 2009 to February 2010.

Between February 2009 and August 2009, his Bank of America account was used primarily for gambling, a court document states, in which he would deposit his winnings and withdraw amounts from $2,000 to $50,000.

'In this case, the bank's glitch allowed the defendant to lose a significant amount of money that was not even his in the first place,' states the U.S. Attorney's sentencing memorandum, filed on June 11. 'The fact that defendant acted on an impulse does not minimize the seriousness of his conduct and the need for a custodial sentence.'

They also recommended Page be prohibited from gambling activity, lotteries, or wagering of any kind and from entering the premises of any gambling casinos, horse tracks, bingo parlors, or dog races or wherever gambling activity is conducted.

Prosecutors noted that Page is not a violent offender and his age and background indicate a low risk of committing violent crimes in the future.

'If his gambling addiction is not addressed, he is very likely to cause further financial hardship to himself and his family,' the memorandum states.
