[QUOTE="simme, post: 1660353, member: 40418"] A local guy here was pardoned by the president. Nothing serious I guess. Just a bank robber. But, he mostly used a BB gun in his string of bank robberies. He is getting out 14 years early. I wonder what it takes to get on the list for a pardon. Must be more to the story than random or justice. If you are going to commit a robbery, might pay to only carry a BB gun if hoping for a pardon. [B]GREENVILLE, S.C. —[/B] A Greenville bank robber was among those who received a presidential commutation on President Donald Trump's last day in office. A list of pardons and commutations from the Trump administration included Monstsho Eugene Vernon, a man convicted in a string of armed bank robberies in Greenville. In November of 2000, WYFF News 4 reported the FBI had arrested Vernon for robbing the Palmetto Bank on Haywood Road, and investigators believed he may have been connected to a string of robberies. According to a White House press release, "The commutation is supported by Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and the Office of the Pardon Attorney." The release said "evidence showed that [B]numerous of these offenses involved him carrying BB guns rather than genuine firearms[/B]." According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons database, Vernon is being held at Butner Federal Correctional Institution, a low security facility in Butner, North Carolina. He was scheduled to be released on Jan. 27, 2035. [/QUOTE]
