More Than 3,200 Oxycodone Pills Taken in One Robbery
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – November 19, 2018 – Gary Ginnings, 44, of
Kingston Springs, Tennessee, was indicted last week by a federal grand jury and
charged with two counts of Hobbs Act Robbery, one attempted Hobbs Act Robbery
and two counts of brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of
violence, announced U.S. Attorney Don Cochran for the Middle District of
Tennessee. Ginnings was arrested this
morning by FBI agents and officers from the Metro Nashville Police Department
and the Dickson County Sheriff’s Department.
He will appear before a U.S. Magistrate Judge later today.
According to the indictment, on April 12, 2018, Ginnings
attempted to rob the Bridgestone Pharmacy in Antioch, Tennessee while
brandishing a firearm. On the same day,
Ginnings robbed the Good Shepard Pharmacy in Antioch and took bottles of hydroxychloroquine,
a prescription medication.
The indictment also alleges that on April 18, 2018,
Ginnings, while armed with a firearm, robbed the pharmacist at Fred’s Pharmacy
in Whitebluff, Tennessee. During this
robbery, Ginnings obtained 3,280 oxycodone pills.
If convicted, Ginnings faces up to life in prison.
This case was investigated by the FBI; the Nashville
Metropolitan Police Department; and the White Bluff Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph Montminy and
Van Vincent are prosecuting the case.
An indictment is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent until
proven guilty in a court of law.
