Click on headline for complete story with list of robbery locations From the U.S. District Attorney's Office Western District of Kentucky LOUISVILLE, KY - A Louisville convicted felon was sentenced recently in U.S. District Court by Senior Judge Thomas B. Russell, to 481 months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for the armed robbery of eleven area convenient stores and fast food restaurants in December, 2012, and January, 2013, announced Acting U.S. Attorney John E. Kuhn, Jr. The charges stemmed from "Project Recoil" - an initiative for more effective prosecution of violent criminals in Louisville that relies upon collaboration among federal, state and local law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies. Troy Lemont Gaines and co-defendant charged in 22 count indictment Troy Lemont Gaines, age 23 of Louisville, and co-defendant Shaundrell Robinson, age 34 of Louisville, were charged in a 22 count federal indictment on April 2, 2013. The defendants have prior felony convictions and were charged with eleven armed robberies between December 5, 2012 and January 3, 2013 in Metro Louisville and Radcliffe, Kentucky. During one robbery, a shot was fired by Gaines while in a struggle with a customer. Gaines was arrested by Louisville Metro Police (LMPD) on January 5, 2013, immediately after robbing a Speedway gas station located 8325 Preston Highway. Shaundrell Robinson previously sentenced to 216 months in prison Co-defendant Shaundrell Robinson was previously sentenced on November 11, 2014 by Senior Judge Thomas B. Russell to 216 months in prison followed by a three year period of supervised release. "We have concluded the prosecution of this terrible frenzy of armed robberies, and the collaboration of our state and local partners has been instrumental in getting this done," said Acting U.S. Attorney Kuhn. " 'Project Recoil' is proving to be a highly effective tool in dealing with violent crime in our community. Lengthy sentences for violent repeat offenders are one important part of a comprehensive approach to building a safer community, and we value the support of our state and local partners for this program." The United States was prepared to present evidence, according to court records, that included: video surveillance of the armed robberies while in progress, a police dash-cam video showing Gaines arrest while still wearing a ski mask, a Lorcin semi-automatic pistol, magazine, five rounds of ammunition removed from the magazine and two shell casings found on the sidewalk outside the China Express restaurant that was held-up on December 19, 2012, an audio clip of Gaines' statement to LMPD, video still photos signed by Gaines, a black ski mask and a loaded 9mm pistol seized from Gaines at the time of his arrest.
