Fairfield County resident Latrell S. Moore, of Bridgeport, pleaded guilty to multiple charges in the case in March 2022, the US Attorney for Connecticut said. His 118-month sentence is in addition to the 43 months he's already spent behind bars awaiting his trial, the judge ruled.
Investigators said Moore stole $400 in an armed robbery of a Dunkin Donuts on Lordship Boulevard in Stratford in Fairfield County on Aug. 5, 2019. A week later, he robbed the Santander Bank on Grand Avenue in New Haven of about $2,000, prosecutors said.
Police arrested Moore two days after the bank hold-up and found a loaded .38 caliber and a .25 caliber semiautomatic pistol in his possession, officials said.
Moore has a lengthy criminal record that includes convictions of weapon and drug possession, authorities said. In this case, he pleaded guilty to Hobbs Act robbery, brandishing a firearm during a robbery, bank robbery, and unlawful possession of a gun by a felon, officials said.
Moore still has pending state charges.
