An Indiana man with a past stained by felonies has been sentenced to a decade behind bars after a bank heist in Minnesota ended with him busted for illegal firearm possession. Deundrick Damon McIntosh, 45, received a 10-year prison sentence followed by three years of supervised release, as announced by the United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota, Andrew M. Luger.

On a day shrouded with the crime, December 22, 2022, two masked men breached the walls of a bank in Inver Grove Heights. They proceeded to zip-tie two employees and loot roughly $80,000. Trailing the money, law enforcement on January 11, 2023, executed search warrants, stumbling upon McIntosh and a stash house for his belongings. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, cash on McIntosh carried serial numbers that sang a tune of their descent from the robbed bank's reserves.

Within the residence, agents discovered McIntosh's gun paired with an extended magazine and additional bank bills marked as bait. The convict's prior rap sheet isn't devoid of similar acts; it flaunts convictions for bank robbery and domestic assault. These past misdeeds place him squarely in the sights of federal law, which forbids felons from maintaining firearms or ammunition.

Pleading guilty to the possession of a firearm by a felon on November 13, 2023, McIntosh stood before U.S. District Court Judge John R. Tunheim to receive his sentence today. Rooted in a collaborative investigation by the FBI, the Inver Grove Heights Police Department, and the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office, the wheels of justice turned and brought McIntosh to this moment of reckoning. The case was brought to a close by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lindsey E. Middlecamp.
