Karree Isiah Pitts, Bank Robbery, Pennsylvania 2013

LEBANON, Pennsylvania – On February 27, 2013, Karree Isiah Pitts allegedly committed a brazen crime in the quiet town of Cleona. Pitts, a 22-year-old local resident, is accused of robbing the Fulton Bank located at 433 West Penn Avenue.

According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Pitts allegedly stole $2,790 from the bank during the robbery. The brazen theft caught the attention of local law enforcement, who quickly sprang into action. An investigation led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Cleona Police Department resulted in a federal grand jury in Harrisburg returning an indictment against Pitts.

Assistant United States Attorney Daryl F. Bloom has been assigned to prosecute the case against Pitts. While the indictment is only an allegation, Pitts is presumed innocent until found guilty in court.

The maximum penalty for bank robbery under federal law is 20 years’ imprisonment, followed by a term of supervised release and a fine. However, the actual sentence will depend on various factors, including the nature and seriousness of the offense, the defendant’s history and characteristics, and the need to punish, protect the public, and provide for the defendant’s educational, vocational, and medical needs.

Pitts is currently facing a serious charge, and his fate will be decided in a court of law. The people of Cleona, where the crime took place, are relieved that the perpetrator has been caught and charged.

It is worth noting that all persons charged are presumed innocent until found guilty in court. The outcome of the case will depend on the evidence presented in court and the final verdict of the jury.

The incident highlights the importance of vigilance and cooperation between local law enforcement and federal agencies in preventing and investigating crimes. The people of Lebanon and surrounding areas can rest assured that their safety and security are being taken seriously.
