South Bend Robbers at Other Cities' Banks

2013–2025

The rule: the federal court for this district sits in South Bend, and its prosecutors' reports carry a South Bend dateline for cases across the district's whole map. This section counts scenes, not datelines: a robbery belongs to the city the bank stood in. The following cases fill the Department of Justice's South Bend reports and are not South Bend robberies; they are printed here, once, so that the boundary is visible and no later reader mistakes the dateline for the scene. Lamont Hawkins and Jeffrey Wilson robbed a bank in Mishawaka on November 16, 2016, with David Woods (117 and 125 months respectively on their pleas and verdicts). Archie Taylor's bank, robbed in a week of September 2022 with three convenience stores, stood in the Elkhart–Mishawaka area (228 months). Zamale Davis and accomplices robbed a bank at Bristol of $53,800 on August 7, 2013 (121 months). Isaiah C. Fisher robbed a credit union in Michigan City on April 16, 2015, a documented loss of $11,460 (188 months). Undrea House robbed a bank in the Goshen case of August 2024 at gunpoint (85 months), and Jerry Boomershine's masked robbery of a Goshen bank in May 2018, of about $8,450, was solved by DNA in April 2025 (51 months). Terry Reed of South Bend robbed the Chase Bank at Noblesville on June 12, 2023 (ten years). Dennis Love of South Bend robbed his banks in Michigan in 2013, the Consumers Credit Union at Kalamazoo among them (114 months). Each of those cities' files will carry its own case in its own time.
