LOUISVILLE, Ky. – David J. Hale, United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky, announced the sentencing today of a Louisville felon charged with robbing three Jefferson County restaurants.

Further, he admitted to brandishing a firearm while robbing the McDonald’s located at 8600 Dixie Highway on May 2, 2013. The federal robbery charges are brought pursuant to the Hobb’s Act, which criminalizes robberies that affect interstate commerce.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Tom Dyke and Amanda Gregory and was investigated by the Louisville Metro Police Department.
