Two Monroeville Men Charged with Bank Robbery

United States Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan announced today, August 5, 2009, that two residents of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on a charge of bank robbery.

The one-count indictment named Kevin Ian Davis, age 28, and Timothy Michael Smith, age 27, as defendants.

According to the indictment, on July 24, 2009, Davis and Smith robbed the S&T Bank on Route 286. As a result of the robbery, Davis and Smith obtained a total amount of $11,214.00.

Assistant United States Attorney Almon S. Burke, Jr., who presented the case to the grand jury, indicated that the law provides for a maximum total sentence of 20 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendants.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Plum Police Department conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
