An Indianapolis man, Evan Chaffin, 43, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of armed robbery related to multiple heists last year. Chaffin’s conviction stems from armed robberies at Fifth Third Bank and Regions Bank, where he threatened bank employees while brandishing a handgun and demanded cash, with one employee recalling his ominous warning about a supposed “gang” returning if she didn’t comply.
His capture followed an extensive investigation, which included surveillance footage and witness descriptions that led to his arrest shortly after the second robbery.
