Bayou La Batre Man Sentenced to Over 23 Years for Armed Robberies
Bayou La Batre, Alabama – In a brazen display of violence, En Chim and an accomplice robbed two local businesses, leaving a trail of fear in their wake.
On May 13, 2021, En Chim was sentenced to 115 months in federal prison for his role in the robberies, which took place on November 2018. The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Terry F. Moorer.
Chim was found guilty of all five counts of a federal indictment, including two counts of robbery and three counts of using a firearm to commit the crimes. He will also serve three years of supervised release following his release from prison and pay $1,100 in restitution.
The robberies, which occurred at a convenience store and a sandwich shop, showed a blatant disregard for human life and safety. Witnesses and video evidence showed that Chim and his accomplice entered both businesses, demanding money and waving handguns at the attendants.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, in conjunction with the Bayou La Batre Police Department and the United States Attorney’s Office, investigated the case and brought Chim to justice.
The sentencing marks a significant victory in the fight against violent crime in Bayou La Batre. As authorities continue to crack down on such behavior, residents can rest a little easier knowing that those responsible will face the full weight of the law.
In addition to the prison sentence, Chim will also serve three years of supervised release and pay $1,100 in restitution. The total sentence comes out to 283 months in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons.
Chim’s accomplice is still at large and is being sought by authorities.
