KNOXVILLE—A federal grand jury in
Knoxville returned a two-count indictment on August 7, 2012, against Kevin
Andrew Beets, 29, of Corryton, Tennessee, and Ulysses Van Keys, 30, of
Corryton, Tennessee, for armed pharmacy robbery.
The indictment alleges that Beets and
Keys aided and abetted by one another robbed the CVS Pharmacy on August 5,
2012. The indictment further alleges that Beets and Keys used and brandished a
firearm during a violent crime.
If convicted, Beets and Keys face a term
of up to 20 years in prison for the pharmacy robbery and an additional minimum
mandatory of seven years and up to life for using and brandishing a firearm
during a violent crime.
This indictment is the result of an
investigation by the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, Knox County Sheriff’s
Department, and Knoxville Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Cynthia F.
Davidson will represent the United States.
Members of the public are reminded that
an indictment constitutes only charges and that every person is presumed innocent
until their guilt has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
