INDIANAPOLIS—Teresa G. Bellamy, 49, Evansville, Indiana, was indicted on January 14, 2010, by a federal grand jury sitting in Indianapolis for robbery and use of a firearm in commission of a robbery, announced Timothy M. Morrison, U.S. Attorney, Southern District of Indiana, following an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The Indictment alleges that on September 19, 2009, Bellamy robbed a Motor Mart gas station located at 1900 North Green River, Evansville, Indiana, brandishing a semi-automatic pistol.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd S. Shellenbarger, who is prosecuting the case for the government, Bellamy faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. Bellamy is currently in state custody and an initial hearing will be scheduled before a U.S. Magistrate Judge after the state case is concluded.
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.
