Nashville Man Charged with Bank Robbery
A brazen bank robbery shook the streets of Nashville when 44-year-old Jeremy Stacey Godwin entered a Truist Bank on Nolensville Pike, demanding money while threatening the use of a firearm.
On April 9, 2024, Godwin entered the bank and handed a note to the teller, stating he had a firearm and wanted $2,400. The teller complied, handing Godwin the cash before he fled on foot.
Godwin was arrested after a concerned citizen contacted law enforcement, following reports of the bank robbery that included images from the bank’s security cameras.
At the time of the robbery, Godwin was on supervised release after serving his prison sentences for two prior convictions. In 2016, he robbed a Sun Trust Bank in Nashville on September 3, and in 2017, he robbed a Chase Bank in Indianapolis, Indiana on September 8.
Godwin’s crimes have caught the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Metro Nashville Police Department, who are working together to bring him to justice.
If convicted, Godwin faces up to 20 years in federal prison. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas J. Jaworski is prosecuting the case.
An indictment is merely an allegation, and Godwin is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
