United States v. Anglin, No. 15-3625 (7th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseAfter the 2013 robbery of a Milwaukee auto repair shop, one of the participants, Green, called the ATF and became a confidential informant. Green did not initially admit to the auto shop robbery, but provided information about the other participants, Anglin and his brother, and gave authorities information that led to Anglin’s arrest as he was travelling to rob a drug house. A jury convicted Anglin of Hobbs Act robbery, discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence (the Hobbs Act robbery) under 18 U.S.C. 924(c), and related offenses. The district court sentenced him to 230 months’ imprisonment, plus three years of supervised release. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, rejecting an argument that the police arrested Anglin without probable cause, requiring suppression of the evidence. Corroborating evidence concerning Anglin’s criminal history, residence, and vehicle provided probable cause for Anglin’s arrest and the subsequent search of his vehicle, which uncovered the gun and ammunition. The court also rejected an argument that the 924(c) conviction was improper because Hobbs Act robbery is not a qualifying crime of violence. The court vacated and remanded certain conditions of supervised release.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on December 4, 2017.
