ASHLAND, Ky. - An Ashland man, Danny P. Chaffin Jr., 38, was
sentenced to 57 months in federal prison on Monday, before U.S. District Court
Judge David L. Bunning, after previously pleading guilty to bank robbery.
According to Chaffin’s plea agreement, he admitted that on
April 5, 2019, he robbed the Bluegrass Community Federal Credit Union in
Ashland. Chaffin admitted to wearing a black mask and running into the Credit
Union and demanding the teller to “Give me all the money now!” The teller complied, and Chaffin was able to
take $12,506. Chaffin was arrested the following day in possession of $10,256
of the bank’s money.
Chaffin pleaded guilty in January 2020.
Under federal law, Chaffin must serve 85 percent of his
prison sentence and will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office
for three years, following his release.
Robert M. Duncan, Jr., United States Attorney for the
Eastern District of Kentucky; James Robert Brown, Jr., Special Agent in Charge,
Federal Bureau of Investigation; and Chief Todd Kelley, Ashland Police
Department; jointly announced the sentencing.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI and Ashland
Police Department. The United States was
represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Will Moynahan.
