U.S. District Judge Thomas P. Barber on Friday sentenced Grant Elmore Davis, Jr., 71, of Mansfield, Ohio, for armed bank robbery, discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, and possession of a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon.

The court also ordered Mr Davis to forfeit the firearm and ammunition used in the offense. Davis entered a guilty plea on December 20, 2023.

According to court documents, Mr Davis entered a bank in Fort Myers on October 31, 2023, and discharged a handgun while making verbal commands to the teller to give him money from the cash register. After obtaining money from the teller, Davis fled the bank.

Mr Davis was previously convicted of armed bank robbery and using and carrying a short-barreled shotgun in relation to a crime of violence in November 2001.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case, which Assistant United States Attorney Mark Morgan prosecuted.
