Carlisle Man Indicted for Bank Robberies
A Carlisle man is facing serious charges after being federally indicted for bank robberies and firearms violations.
According to the indictment, 32-year-old Jeffrey Turns allegedly robbed two banks in August 2015, one in Mechanicsburg, PA and one in Dillsburg, PA, using a firearm. The robberies were part of a brazen crime spree that left authorities scrambling to catch the suspect.
Turns was apprehended after the second bank robbery through a cooperative effort by the Upper Allen Township, Camp Hill and Lower Allen Township Police Departments, and the Pennsylvania State Police. When taken into custody, Turns was allegedly fleeing in a stolen car with one firearm in his waistband, and nine additional stolen firearms in the back of the car.
The case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Mechanicsburg and Carroll Township Police Departments, and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Meredith A. Taylor.
The indictment charges Turns with bank robbery and use of a firearm during a crime of violence. If convicted, Turns faces a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine.
Turns is currently presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. A sentence following a finding of guilt will be imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
The federal sentencing guidelines take into account a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public and provide for the defendant’s educational, vocational and medical needs.
