A Randolph man was charged in federal court today with the July armed robberies of Sovereign Bank branches in Somerville and Brighton.

Trent Miller, 41, was indicted on two counts of armed bank robbery for the July 10 robbery of $13,590 from the branch at 125 Broadway St. in Somerville and the July 20 robbery of $11,685 from the branch at 415 Market St. in Brighton.

The US Attorney's office alleges that Miller committed the robberies by force and intimidation with a BB gun. If convicted Miller faces up to 25 years imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.
