Bank robber to serve prison term
Hendricks county Flyer, Indiana
By Cynthia Fugate
DANVILLE -- An Indianapolis man that police say robbed area banks to pay for a crack-cocaine habit was sentenced to a four-year prison term Tuesday.
Terry J. Doyle, 47, accepted a state's plea agreement to the March 22 robbery of the Lincoln Bank branch in Avon. He pleaded guilty to one felony count each of theft and robbery. He had faced 14 years in prison.
According to court documents. Doyle walked into the bank at 7648 E. U.S. 36 and handed teller Jan Harper a note that demanded $3,000. In the handwritten note, Doyle threatened to shoot the teller if his demands were not met.
A short time after Doyle left the bank with the money, Avon police officers stopped him. He told authorities he had a crack pipe in the car.
Hendricks County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Stephenie LeMay-Luken said the four-year sentence is appropriate, considering the fact that Doyle had some drunk driving convictions in Marion County over the past 20 years and was placed on probation.
"Probation is not working if the defendant is still re-entering the criminal justice system," LeMay-Luken said. "Doyle's type of crime changed dramatically, becoming violent. He needs to seek treatment in a prison environment where he cannot harm or threaten to harm citizens."
According to court records, Doyle had first attempted to rob Union Federal Bank and Indiana Members Credit Union, both in Avon, but lost his nerve. Doyle told authorities he had went as far as entering those banks....
Doyle will be transported from the Hendricks County Jail in Danville to the Marion County Jail in Indianapolis where he faces additional charges
Why do I tell you all this? B/C this guy cut my hair! I went into the hair salon in our local Walmart and this guy cut and styled my hair.

There was a photo in the online article, but I didn't post it b/c I didn't think it was that important. Unlike, Los Angeles or even Atlanta our local newpapers will tell who did what, where, some times provide their place of residence, and like this article their age.
The whole thing is freaky!
