For Immediate Release

HARRISBURG - The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Kenrick Groover-Floyd, age 34, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on July 20, 2022, to 160 months' imprisonment by United States District Court Judge Jennifer P. Wilson for robbery.

According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, Kenrick Groover-Floyd pled guilty to robbery for his role in the April 8, 2019, robbery of a Rite Aid pharmacy in Harrisburg. Groover-Floyd served as a lookout, while his confederates stole cash and over 3,000 pills from the pharmacy. As Judge Wilson explained when she imposed sentence, Groover-Floyd facilitated the robbery as much as the other codefendants in the case. Judge Wilson also noted Groover-Floyd’s long criminal history and the fact that he committed this crime while he was out on bail for unrelated local charges when imposing the sentence.  

Groover-Floyd’s codefendants pled guilty to their roles in this robbery, as well as their roles in a string of robberies committed on April 6, 2019. Brandon Harris, age 29, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was sentenced to 192 months’ imprisonment; Childes Neely, age 30, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was sentenced to 181 months in prison; and David Rinehardt, age 21, of Statesville, North Carolina, was sentenced to 111 months in prison.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation brought this case in conjunction with the Harrisburg Bureau of Police.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael A. Consiglio is prosecuting the case.
