Massillon Man Charged With Bank Robbery

A federal grand jury returned a one-count indictment charging Alexander D. Love, age 21, of Massillon, Ohio, with bank robbery, said Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.

The indictment charges that on January 10, 2013, Love robbed the Charter One Bank located at 54 Federal Avenue, NE, Massillon, Ohio.

If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. The sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.

The matter was investigated by the Massillon Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Canton Office. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Kevin Culum.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
