The Sims 1 Robber
Beatrix Gerke
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Andre M. Davis sentenced Timothy Sims, age 28, of Pikesville, Maryland, today to 25 years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release for bank robbery with a dangerous weapon and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.
On January 9, 2007, Sims and two other men entered a First Mariner Bank located in Anne Arundel County. According to bank witnesses, the men wore masks and gloves and at least one of the men displayed a firearm. One of the armed men dragged bank employees from their offices and into the front teller area of the bank, injuring one victim. That individual pointed a gun at the employees to insure their compliance.
Members of the Anne Arundel County Police Department set a road block on Route 2 when they received information that the robbers were approaching that area. When the robbers came within sight of the police, they turned off Route 2 into a shopping center parking lot. The robbers stopped the car near a wooded area and fled into the woods with officers following.
I've had robbers come to my house on other games, but today, one showed up at my house while my sims were at a party (how convenient). They both have brave traits, and got home early enough to fight the robber, but unfortunately not early enough to stop them from taking their stuff. Is there a way to stop robbers if you don't have a sim with the "Brave" trait? Can you call the cops or something??? Please help.
I always do number 1. Thanks for number 2, I've never know that. I don't have SN. A favourite of mine is to reset the burgalar - then you just go into build/buy mode to get rid of the music and then come back to live mode. Quite cool.
My sims have the lucky trait (the grandparents) and it's been more than 20 Sim years since I made them and their house has never been robbed. Recently their grandkids went to university, I didn't put the lucky trait on them. I had them stay in a house and bought them a Bonehilda to do the house chores. One day, they were out at a party and a burglar decided that he was bored so he thought it was a good idea to invade my house. As soon as he tried to get in, Bonehilda shut the door or is face immediately! Then she ran outside and started beating him up! I didn't know she could/would do that! I was so surprised she became right away my favorite NPC!
Thanks for everyone's help! Btw I started a new game a couple days ago and today a robber came to my house. Luckily, my girl sim had been sleeping, and woke up in a flash and totally beat up the robber. Her fianc just stood there screaming, lol. :-) A couple days later in the game, the SAME ROBBER came in and stole a laptop. (You'd think he'd learned from the other time when Isabella beat him up.) However, he was going to steal more, but when he entered the main house, apparently they had a burglar alarm that I had no idea was there. The cops came to my house, totally beat up the guy, and took him away! I was so relieved, and hopefully there won't be any more robbers coming to my house. Just in case, I put burglar alarms all over the house. Thanks again for all of your helpful suggestions!
He stole cash, a handgun and $60,000 to $80,000 in jewelry and fired a gun inside the business to get out of the locked door. He was chased by witnesses, who recovered evidence implicating Turner in the armed robbery and beating.
Discharging a firearm during an armed robbery is a Class X felony, punishable by 26 to 50 years in prison. Armed robbery with a firearm to a person older than 60 is a Class X felony, punishable by 21 to 75 years in prison.
Sims, 41, was found guilty of four counts of armed robbery by a Jones County jury and Judge Dal Williamson sentenced him to 28 years in prison for stealing more than $1,000 from a group of women who were playing cards at a home on East 18th Street in Laurel in March 2014.
In May, Sims wrote a letter of complaint about Pacific to the Mississippi Bar Association after Pacific advised Sims to take that guilty plea. Sims asked the court to remove Pacific from his case, but instead, the judge appointed Thompson to assist. Then, in the trial, Sims got on the witness stand even though his attorneys advised him not to testify.
All of the women had known Sims for two to 20 years, and he was wearing the same clothes as when he had stopped by the home earlier that evening to drop off his fiancé Shalonda Simmons and gotten into a brief argument with one of the women playing cards.
But the women had different descriptions of the color and type of handguns the robbers were holding, their roles in the robbery, whether Sims was wearing a cap and what color it was and the time that the incident occurred.
McCoy said Sims held her at gunpoint in the bathroom and took the wallet from her purse, but the other women said it was Dunn who held her in the bathroom and Sims who took the money from around the card table.
Appellant Sims was tried and found guilty of murder of Mrs. Hazel Elmore in the perpetration of an armed robbery and sentenced to life imprisonment. We find it necessary to reverse that sentence and judgment upon appellant's first ground for reversal, viz:
The record indicates that Charles Banks, as public defender, was appointed to represent Sims as early as March, 1974. His trial commenced on October 21, 1974. Clay Elmore, the husband of Mrs. Hazel Elmore, was also a victim of the robbery during which his wife was killed. The robbery took place on March 31, 1973, at Elmore's service station just off the Highway 140 exit from Interstate Highway 55 near Osceola. He was found wounded and bleeding, lying along the roadside approximately 175 feet from his station, yelling for help. He was taken to the emergency room at Osceola Hospital and arrived there about midnight. Officer Garland Bobo of the Osceola Police Department was on duty there and saw Elmore come to the door of the emergency room crying in a loud, terrified voice that he had been shot. Bobo observed that Elmore had been wounded in his left shoulder and hand by gunfire. He said that Elmore appeared to be in shock. After emergency treatment Bobo rode in an ambulance *184 in which Elmore was transported to a Memphis hospital. Bobo returned about 3:00 a. m. and made a check on certain things, as he had been requested to do so by Elmore, who gave Bobo the keys to the station.
While at the hospital, Elmore first told Bobo two black males were the robbers and later said there were three. He was unable to give any other description that night. Bobo also testified that en route to the Memphis hospital Elmore gave him a description of three categories of Chevrolet automobile used by the robbers. According to Bobo, Elmore said the car in which the robbers left was a small new two-tone Chevrolet but gave three different colors. Bobo mentioned the colors blue and black in his testimony but said that he might have recorded them as green and black. Bobo said that at this time Elmore seemed to be in a daze, with consciousness coming and going.
Lt. Moore, Criminal Investigator for the Osceola Police Department, said that he was aware that three black males named Myron Franklin, Robert Earl Richmond and Otis Franklin had been arrested on the morning of Sunday, April 1 on Elmore's description of the automobile. These three, who were apprehended as they approached Osceola from the Interstate Highway, were photographed and fingerprinted while they were in custody for about an hour and a half. Moore took a stack of photographs which included photographs of these three persons to the hospital in Memphis later in the week and showed all of them to Elmore, who picked out the photographs of these three. Moore said that Elmore was under medication and in no condition to give further information. He stated that it was evident that Elmore was not coherent or mentally alert at the time.
When Clay Elmore was called as a witness, Banks requested an in camera hearing, saying that he anticipated that Elmore would be asked to identify appellant. Banks sought the hearing in order to explore the facts pertaining to a lineup identification of Sims by Elmore at the jail in Osceola during the week preceding the trial, in the absence of Banks. The prosecuting attorney candidly admitted that the lineup was held and that Elmore had then positively identified Sims as one of the three persons who participated in the robbery and murder of Mrs. Elmore. The prosecuting attorney stated that he did not propose to make any mention of the lineup, because Elmore had said that he could identify Sims upon the basis of the opportunity to observe him during the commission of the crime, and not from viewing him in the lineup.[1] He further explained that the lineup was for the state's benefit in order to determine whether Elmore could positively and without doubt identify Sims as one of those guilty of the crime. The trial judge suppressed any and all facts, circumstances and statements pertaining to the lineup, but held that the state would be permitted to call Elmore for the purpose of identifying Sims, if he could, even though nothing could be said about a lineup. The court also expressly gave defense counsel permission to go into the matter during this testimony.
