A Volusia County man pleaded no contest Monday to displaying a fake, gift-wrapped bomb during a bank robbery while dressed as Santa Claus two days before Christmas.

Mark London, of Port Orange, faces up to 10 years in prison for the robbery, which took place Dec. 23, 2013 at the SunTrust Bank on Nova Road.

Port Orange police said London, 63, walked into the bank wearing a Santa hat and beard, white gloves and sunglasses. Images from a bank surveillance camera showed the "bad Santa" carrying a wrapped gift and a note demanding cash and implying the "gift" was dangerous.

Police tracked down and arrested London at his home on Dec. 27, four days after the robbery.

London also pleaded no contest Monday to charges of drug possession and drug paraphernalia.

As part of his plea deal, London only faces a maximum 10-year sentence, instead of a total of up to 36 years combined from the charges of robbery (15), displaying a hoax bomb (15), drug possession (5) and drug paraphernalia (1).

Circuit Judge Leah Case scheduled London's sentencing for Sept. 19. For now, London remains locked up at the Volusia County Jail on $45,000 bond.
