Two Gadsden men sentenced in bank robbery spree


Ericson Lamar Snot               Jamichal Hawkins

Two Gadsden men received lengthy sentences after being found guilty in four bank robbery cases.
25 year old Ericson Lamar Snow,  was sentenced Thursday to 324 months in federal prison.
27 year old Jamichal Kenyaman Hawkins,  was sentenced Wednesday to 188 months in federal prison.
Both men faced enhanced sentencing for using a firearm in the commission of the crime.
According to information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the two men are the latest faces in what has been observed as a bank robbery pattern in Northeast Alabama during the last 20 years.
Both men were involved in the robbery of Horizon Bank in Fyffe on March 26, 2013, and in the robbery July 17, 2013, of Wells Fargo in Jacksonville. Hawkins robbed the Peoples Independent Bank in Steele by himself twice, on Dec. 6, 2013, and on April 21, 2014.
Both had lengthy criminal records before the bank robbery arrests in May 2014. They are believed to have plotted a fifth bank robbery that fell apart before they entered the bank.
