Memphis, TN – Lamar Clancy, 26, has been sentenced to 243
months in federal prison for the attempted armed robbery of the Boost Mobile
Store at 4684 Millbranch in Memphis. U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant
announced the sentence today.
According to information presented at trial, Clancy and
another man entered the store wearing masks and pointing handguns at store
employees. Two of the store employees drew their firearms to defend against the
shots fired by Clancy and his accomplice. After one of the unarmed employees
was shot, Clancy, who himself was also shot, retreated from the store with the
other robber. Clancy was dropped off at the Methodist South Hospital emergency
room minutes after the attempted robbery, and was apprehended by the Memphis
Police.
On May 9, 2019, after a four-day federal jury trial, Clancy
was found guilty on a two-count indictment for attempted business robbery and
discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.
Today, U. S. District Court Judge John T. Fowlkes Jr.,
sentenced Clancy to 243 months in federal prison followed by 3 years supervised
release.
U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant said, "Violent crimes
must be met with significant consequences in order to incapacitate dangerous
offenders, deter future violence, achieve justice for victims and the
community, and uphold the rule of law. This sentence demonstrates our
commitment and resolve to protect the public by making violent trigger-pullers
pay for their crimes."
This case was investigated by FBI Safe Streets Task Force Agents.
The United States Attorney’s Office, Western District of
Tennessee prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
