MILWAUKEE, WI – A Milwaukee man was sentenced to 16 years in federal prison for a series of armed robberies of auto parts stores in the Milwaukee area.

Stacy Chappell, 44, was sentenced on September 9, 2022, for committing three armed robberies of auto parts stores in August and September 2020. The robberies included two completed robberies and one attempted robbery.

During the robberies, Chappell brandished a firearm and demanded cash from the employee victims. The armed robberies took place in the Milwaukee area, resulting in significant fear and trauma for the victims.

At the sentencing hearing, United States District Court Judge J.P. Stadtmueller discussed the impact of these crimes on the victims and the dangerousness of these acts. The judge noted the possibility that someone could have been seriously injured or killed during the robberies.
