Sammie Green, Carjacking, Kentucky 2019

A Cincinnati man has been sentenced to 174 months in federal prison for carjacking and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.

According to the prosecution, Sammie Green, 25, pleaded guilty to the charges in September 2020. The incident occurred on August 15, 2019, when Green got into a domestic dispute with his girlfriend, during which a pizza delivery driver arrived.

Green's girlfriend and her children fled from him and asked the delivery driver to call the police. As the delivery driver called the police, Green fired multiple shots from a handgun. He then approached the delivery driver, pointed the gun at him, and demanded the keys of his vehicle.

When the delivery driver complied, Green fled in the stolen vehicle.

Green was sentenced by U.S. District Judge David Bunning on Tuesday. Under federal law, Green must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence and will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for five years, following his release from prison.

The investigation was conducted by the ATF and Boone County Sheriff's Department. The United States was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tony Bracke and Kyle M. Winslow.

Green's case serves as a reminder of the consequences of committing violent crimes. Carjacking is a serious offense that can have devastating consequences for the victims and their families.

The sentence in this case is a result of the hard work and dedication of the law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation.

The case highlights the importance of the community coming together to prevent and address violent crimes.

The sentencing of Sammie Green to 174 months in federal prison is a significant outcome in this case. It demonstrates the commitment of the justice system to holding individuals accountable for their actions.
