South Bend Man Sentenced to 63 Months in Prison
A South Bend man has been sentenced to 63 months in prison for his role in two robberies affecting interstate commerce, announced U.S. Attorney Kirsch.
Andre Pittman, 31 years old, of South Bend, Indiana, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Jon E. DeGuilio after pleading guilty to two counts of robbery affecting interstate commerce.
The Court imposed a sentence of 63 months, followed by 1 year of supervised release.
According to documents in the case, Pittman robbed a cellular store on Lincoln Way West in South Bend on March 9, 2018. He also robbed a video store on Portage Avenue in South Bend on March 13, 2018. The combined cash stolen from these businesses was $1,045.00.
This case was investigated by the FBI with assistance from the South Bend Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Joel Gabrielse.
Pittman’s sentence reflects the severity of his crimes, which had a significant impact on the local community. The 63-month prison term is a just outcome for this defendant, who showed a blatant disregard for the law.
We appreciate the hard work of the FBI and the South Bend Police Department in investigating this case and bringing Pittman to justice. Their efforts demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement to keeping our communities safe.
The case highlights the importance of robust law enforcement efforts to combat violent crime and protect the public. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that those who commit crimes are held accountable for their actions.
