Armed Robbery Rocks Detroit Lakes Community
A brazen armed robbery at a convenience store on the White Earth Indian Reservation has left the community reeling.
On November 11, 2020, 33-year-old Levi Brandin Jerome of Detroit Lakes entered the store carrying a multi-caliber rifle, pointing it at the clerk and demanding she open the cash register.
Jerome stole approximately $2,250 in cash from the register and from a drawer next to the register before fleeing the store.
Judge Nancy E. Brasel accepted Jerome’s guilty plea to one count of robbery during a hearing today. A sentencing date has not been set.
The investigation, led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the FBI Headwaters Safe Trails Task Force, the White Earth Police Department, the Becker County Sheriff’s Office, the Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force, and the Devils Lake (North Dakota) Police Department, uncovered the shocking evidence of Jerome’s crime.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander D. Chiquoine is prosecuting the case, ensuring that justice is served for the victims and the community.
The armed robbery has raised concerns about public safety and the need for increased security measures in the area.
