January 30, 2010 - Thomas E. Tucker, 45, Moscow Mills, Missouri, was sentenced to 108 months in prison today by U.S. District Judge Richard L. Young following his guilty plea to armed bank robbery and use of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, announced Timothy M. Morrison, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. This case was the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
On April 21, 2009, Tucker entered the First Bank branch in Poseyville, Indiana wearing a mask and pointing a firearm at bank tellers. He demanded money and carried about $25,000 from the bank. Shortly after the robbery, a Gibson County Sheriff's Deputy stopped a vehicle matching the one the robber drove from the bank. Tucker was stopped along the side of the road changing clothes. Police found the firearm and the stolen money in the truck.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd S. Shellenbarger, who prosecuted the case for the government, Judge Young also imposed three years supervised release following Tucker’s release from prison.
