SD casino robbery suspect could face life
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A Nebraska man accused of traveling to South Dakota to rob Sioux Falls casinos at least four times this past summer could face life in prison if convicted.
The Argus Leader reports (http://bit.ly/qw0O6N ) that Minnehaha County prosecutors have filed a motion to charge 49-year-old Terrance Davenport of Omaha as a habitual criminal, enhancing his possible punishment if he is found guilty. Davenport faces four counts of a first-degree robbery charge that normally carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
Davenport is accused of using a handgun in the robberies, and using zip ties to bind the hands of clerks in some cases. He was on parole for 2004 robberies at Sioux Falls jewelry stores when the casino robberies took place. Prosecutors say he has an extensive criminal background.
