MINNEAPOLIS – ATM Robbery and Prescription Drug Theft
A federal indictment unsealed recently charges eight individuals in connection with a string of burglaries during which money was stolen from ATMs and prescription drugs were stolen from pharmacies.
The indictment alleges that between October 2009 and February 2013, the defendants conspired with each other and others to enter and attempt to enter buildings that operated in whole or in part as banks or credit unions, because they housed ATM machines.
The indictment also alleges that the defendants conspired to transport stolen merchandise and cash between the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin, and Iowa and Minnesota. Additionally, it alleges that the defendants conspired to steal controlled substances from pharmacies.
Specifically, the indictment charges Derek Edward Benedict, age 41, of Hugo; Lyle Robert Carpenter, age 40, of Hastings; Julia Jean Julien, age 35, of St. Cloud; Timothy Michael Kielb, age 45, of Fridley; Cherilyn Ann Mayotte, age 35, currently incarcerated in Superior, Wisconsin; Jason Michael Mussehl, age 42, currently incarcerated at the Stanley Correctional Institution in Stanley, Wisconsin; Jennifer Suzann Stanley, age 37, no known address; and Jonathan Roger Quast, age 28, of Lexington, Minnesota.
The indictment charges the defendants with a range of crimes, including conspiracy to commit bank burglary, bank larceny, and interstate transportation of stolen money. If convicted, the potential maximum penalties are 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit burglary involving controlled substances, bank burglary, credit union burglary, and burglary involving controlled substances; ten years for bank larceny and the interstate transportation of stolen property; and five years for conspiracy to commit bank burglary, bank larceny, and interstate transportation of stolen property.
The case is the result of a multi-agency investigation conducted by the Internal Revenue Service, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and the FBI. The indictment was filed under seal on June 10, 2013, and was unsealed on June 18, 2013, following the defendants’ initial appearances in federal court. If convicted, the defendants’ sentences will be determined by a federal district court judge.
