Serial bank robber begs federal judge to keep him locked up after latest string of crimes in Florida

After being released from federal prison for bank robbery, Terry Meach, a convicted serial bank robber, wasted no time in returning to his criminal ways. Just two weeks after his release, Meach targeted three different banks in Florida, ultimately leading to his sentencing to 20 years in federal prison – the maximum term for bank robbery.

In a surprising turn of events, Meach actually begged the federal judge to keep him locked up for the maximum term. In a letter to US District Court Judge Rodney Smith, Meach expressed that extensive time behind bars would not only help curb his urges and normalize his life but also improve public safety. He admitted that he knew he would “mess up again” and that prison was the only place where he felt he could prevent his own self-destruction.

Meach confessed to stealing $2,419 from a Truist Bank in Hollywood by demanding money from a teller and claiming he had a gun. Four days later, he entered Fifth Third Bank in Fort Lauderdale, telling the teller he had a bomb before fleeing and stealing $2,379 from another Truist Bank down the street. During this heist, he once again claimed to have a gun.

This was not Meach’s first run-in with the law. In April 2012, he was convicted for robbing a TD Bank in Fort Lauderdale and attempting to steal from a Suntrust Bank in Miami, for which he served nearly four years in prison. Upon his release in March 2016, he quickly returned to his criminal activities by robbing another Suntrust Bank in Fort Lauderdale and a Chase Bank in Doral just days later.

Despite being sentenced to eight years in federal prison for his previous crimes, Meach was released on February 9, only to commit more bank robberies 14 days later. Ultimately, he pleaded guilty to two counts of bank robbery and one count of attempted bank robbery, leading to his 20-year sentence.

The case of Terry Meach serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by repeat offenders and the complexities of rehabilitation within the criminal justice system. It also highlights the need for comprehensive support and intervention programs to address the underlying issues that lead individuals like Meach to continue down a path of criminal behavior.
