HAMMOND- Daniel Smith, 26, of Chicago, Illinois, was charged
in a criminal complaint with robbery affecting interstate commerce of a Hammond
Boost Mobile store, announced U.S. Attorney Kirsch.
The criminal complaint alleges that on January 24, 2020,
Daniel Smith entered the Boost Mobile store located at 2741 169th Street,
Hammond, Indiana, held employees at gunpoint, and ordered them to fill up a
duffel bag with cellular phones, after which he left the store with the bag
full of phones.
The United States Attorney’s Office emphasizes that a
criminal complaint is merely an allegation and that all persons are presumed
innocent until, and unless proven guilty in court.
If convicted, any specific sentence to be imposed will be
determined by the judge after a consideration of federal sentencing statutes
and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation’s Gang Response Investigative Team and Hammond Police Department
with assistance from the Merrillville and Hazel Crest, Illinois Police
Departments. This case is being
prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Caitlin M. Padula.
