Jacksonville, Florida – U.S. District Judge Timothy J.
Corrigan sentenced Christopher McCain (27, Anniston, AL) yesterday to 32 years
in federal prison for two counts of robbery and brandishing a firearm in
furtherance of a crime of violence. He pleaded guilty on July 3, 2014.
According to court documents, McCain robbed three different
Metro PCS stores during January 2012. He carried a loaded .45 caliber pistol
during each of the robberies and took a total of $2,211 from the stores. McCain
was arrested on January 28, 2012, after a Metro PCS store employee was able to
get the tag number of McCain’s getaway car. McCain was still in possession of
his loaded .45 caliber pistol when officers from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s
Office arrested him.
This case was investigated by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s
Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It was
prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Frank Talbot.
This is another case prosecuted as a part of the Department
of Justice’s “Project Safe Neighborhoods” Program - a nationwide, gun-violence
reduction strategy. United States
Attorney A. Lee Bentley, III, along with Daryl R. McCrary, Special Agent in
Charge, ATF, is coordinating the Project Safe Neighborhoods effort here in the
Middle District of Florida in cooperation with federal, state, and local law
enforcement officials.
