BIRMINGHAM – A federal judge today sentenced a Birmingham
resident and six-time convicted felon to 105 months in prison for a 2018
carjacking in Homewood, announced U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town and Federal Bureau
of Investigation Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp, Jr.
U.S. District Judge L. Scott Coogler sentenced CORDERREL
DEWAYNE POOLE, 32, on one count of carjacking.
Poole pled guilty in June.
On November 5, 2018, Poole ran up to the victim as she was
getting into her SUV in the parking lot of a Homewood business on Green Springs
Highway. As the victim backed her
vehicle out of the parking space, Poole repeatedly banged on her window and
screamed for her to get out. When the
victim did not meet his demands, he reached inside the SUV and grabbed her arm
in an attempt to pull her out. Poole
then put his hand into a shoulder bag he was carrying and acted as if he was
going to pull a gun. Believing she was
about to be shot, the victim gave up her vehicle. Poole drove off in the SUV and was
apprehended the same evening by Lincoln Police Department at the scene of a
one-vehicle crash on Interstate 20 in Lincoln, Alabama.
“This career criminal has been brought to justice. We will not sit idly by and allow criminals
to intimidate our citizens with such violence,” Town said. “We will find you, and we will prosecute
you. The revolving door for Poole is now
locked tightly behind him and a warm prison bed awaits him.”
“I want to extend my personal thanks to all of our law
enforcement partners whose efforts quickly brought Poole to justice,” Sharp
said. “The FBI will continue to work
closely with our partners to address violent crimes in north Alabama.”
The FBI investigated the case along with the Homewood Police
Department, the Lincoln Police Department, and the Alabama Law Enforcement
Agency. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Alan
Baty and Kristy Peoples prosecuted the charge.
