A Cleveland man was indicted for allegedly committing five
armed robberies in December 2018.
Dwyon Moore, 50, was indicted on five counts of Hobbs Act
robbery and five counts using a firearm in relation to a crime of violence.
Moore is accused of using a firearm to rob the following
businesses in Cleveland: Wonton Gourmet on Payne Avenue on December 12; of D.O.
Summers Cleaners and Laundry on Carnegie Avenue on December 14; Dark and Lovely
Hair and Beauty on Cedar Avenue on December 14; Bo Loong on St. Clair Avenue on
December 14, and Good Times Café on East 55th Street on December 14, according
to the indictment.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program
bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve
to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. PSN was
reinvigorated in 2017 as part of the Department’s renewed focus on targeting
violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership
with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement and the local community
to develop effective, locally-based strategies to reduce violent crime.
If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by
the Court after review of factors unique to this case, including the
defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense
and the characteristics of the violations.
In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and, in
most cases, it will be less than the maximum.
This case was investigated by the Cleveland Division of
Police, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, and the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office’s Crime
Strategies Unit. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney John C.
Hanley.
An indictment is only an allegation and is not evidence of
guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the
government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
