A Corinth man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for armed carjacking, as announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Talinn Loveless, aged 24, pled guilty to charges of taking a motor vehicle through force and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. The latter charge carries a mandatory seven-year sentence.
Senior U.S. District Judge Glen H. Davidson sentenced Loveless to 144 months in total—60 months for carjacking and an additional 84 months for brandishing a firearm. Following his release, Loveless will be under supervision for three years and is required to pay $5,000 in restitution to the victim. He was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshal after sentencing.
U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner stated, “Violent criminals belong in jail, and the sentence imposed today by Judge Davidson has ensured accountability for the actions of this defendant.” He praised the investigation conducted by the Corinth Police Department and the FBI.
Corinth Police Chief Landon Tucker expressed gratitude towards the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office, stating, “This defendant was rightfully brought to justice.” Tucker emphasized their commitment to community safety and holding offenders accountable.
Robert Eikhoff, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Jackson Field Office, commented on the case: “Depriving innocent victims of their hard-earned property will not be tolerated.” He highlighted that Loveless’ conviction sends a message about their ongoing efforts against violent offenders.
The case involved investigations by multiple agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Corinth Police Department, and Mississippi Highway Patrol. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert J. Mims led the prosecution.
