December 2020

The robbery: in December 2020, Shamond Jenkins, 20, of South Bend, went into a bank and handed over a note threatening to kill an employee if the employee did not give him cash; while the employees gathered cash from the teller drawers, he told them repeatedly that he was prepared to kill them. He fled with the cash and was arrested in January 2021. The Department of Justice's account of the case does not name the bank, and does not say in which city it stood; the investigation was the FBI's, assisted by the South Bend and Mishawaka police departments together. The entry is carried in this section on that record, with its limit printed: the scene is documented to the division and its two cities, and no further.

The disposition: a jury found Jenkins guilty of bank robbery in December 2021, and Chief Judge Jon E. DeGuilio sentenced him to 100 months in prison and $1,965 in restitution — the smallest documented take in this section, and a sentence of more than eight years.
