John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of
Connecticut, announced that ANTOINE SNELL and TREYQUANE SNELL, both 20 of
Bridgeport, each pleaded guilty today before U.S. District Judge Kari A. Dooley
in Bridgeport to a federal robbery offense stemming from a violent robbery and
carjacking of a food delivery driver in Ansonia.
According to court documents and statements made in court,
on December 21, 2016, Antoine and Treyquane Snell, who are twin brothers, and a
juvenile male, placed a food order with an Ansonia restaurant to be delivered
to a location on Dwight Street. After
the driver arrived at the location, the three males ordered the driver out of
his car, attacked him and stole the car.
The victim suffered serious injuries, including multiple broken bones in
his face and bleeding in his brain.
The brothers each pleaded guilty to one count of Hobbs Act
robbery, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20
years. Judge Dooley scheduled sentencing
for November 6, 2019.
The brothers are detained pending sentencing.
The juvenile involved in the robbery and carjacking was
charged, convicted and sentenced in state court.
This matter is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Ansonia Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant
U.S. Attorneys Douglas P. Morabito and Maria del Pilar Gonzalez.
