Rapid City Man Sentenced to Federal Prison for Robbery
A Rapid City man has been sentenced to federal prison for robbery and use of a firearm during a crime.
Troy Fairbanks, 29, was sentenced to three years and ten months in federal prison for the Robbery conviction and seven years in federal prison for the Firearm conviction. The sentences are to be served consecutively.
On January 2020, Fairbanks and two other individuals robbed the Quality Inn and Big D at Rapid City, brandishing a pistol at an employee at each establishment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Kelderman prosecuted the case. The investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Rapid City Police Department.
Fairbanks was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. He was also sentenced to three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution and a $200 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), the centerpiece of the government’s violent crime reduction efforts.
