The defendant was charged with multiple counts of violent crime, including 18 U.S.C. § 924 (using a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence) and 18 U.S.C. § 2111 (interference with commerce by robbery).
The case was handled in the California Eastern District Court, under the case number CAED Federal District. The charges filed on August 16, 2012 brought significant attention to the case, as violent crime rates in the area had been on the rise.
