Tennessee Man Indicted for Tampa Pizza Shop Robbery
Tampa, FL – A Tennessee man has been indicted for robbing a pizza shop in Tampa while brandishing a firearm.
According to court documents, on October 21, 2024, Justin Alan Seymour, 37, robbed a pizza shop on Fowler Avenue in Tampa. Two days later, law enforcement pulled over a vehicle driven by Seymour, who had a firearm in his waistband.
Seymour has a prior felony conviction for attempted robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon and is therefore prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition under federal law.
If convicted, Seymour faces up to 20 years in federal prison for the robbery offense, up to life in prison for the first firearm offense, and up to 15 years in federal prison for the second firearm offense. An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
This case is being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, and the Tampa Police Department with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Samantha Newman. The forfeiture is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney James Muench.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
