SCRANTON - The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Terrance Tyson, age 45, of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on September 6, 2023, by U.S. District Court Judge Robert D. Mariani, to 63 months’ imprisonment on the charge of bank robbery.

According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, Tyson previously entered a guilty plea and admitted to committing a robbery of the NBT Bank in East Stroudsburg, on September 24, 2019.  Tyson stole approximately $5,226 in the robbery and was apprehended by investigators the following day. 

The case was investigated by the Stroud Area Regional Police Department and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force.  Assistant United States Attorney Robert J. O’Hara prosecuted the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
