February 18–21, 2020
The robberies: Nahkomie Taylor, 31, had been on parole for armed robbery for less than a month when, on February 18, 2020, he robbed a bank at gunpoint in South Bend. Three days later, on February 21, he robbed a different bank at gunpoint in South Bend — and the same day traveled to Oak Park, Illinois, and robbed a third bank at gunpoint there. The two South Bend banks are this section's; the Oak Park bank is Illinois' record, named because the federal case is one case.
The disposition: Taylor pleaded guilty to two counts of bank robbery and one count of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, and Chief Judge Jon E. DeGuilio sentenced him to 262 months in prison and $12,155 in restitution — the longest sentence in this section's modern record, for robberies whose combined documented loss the restitution figure puts at a fraction of what the Merchants National lost in 1934. Neither South Bend bank is named in the Department's account.
