Former Bonners Ferry resident imprisoned for ATM larcenies
Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 10 years, 5 months AGO
BOISE - A former Bonners Ferry resident was sentenced on Monday to more than 18 years in prison for a string of ATM larcenies.
U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge ordered Nathan Paul Davenport to serve 217 months in prison and pay $1.2 million in restitution, according to U.S. Attorney Wendy Olson.
The court also ordered the forfeiture of any proceeds from his interstate crime spree, which resulted in charges of ATM larceny, conspiracy and use of a firearm.
Davenport pleaded guilt to the offenses in March.
According to a plea agreement in the case, Davenport and co-defendant Matthew Taber Annable aided and abetted one another in breaking into and stealing cash from an automated teller machine at Idaho First Bank in McCall in January 2014.
The duo used a stolen Ford pickup truck to wrench the door off the ATM. McCall Police gave chase and Davenport stopped twice and opened fire with a .223-caliber assault rifle.
The officers' vehicles were hit with gunfire, although nobody was injured.
Federal prosecutors said Davenport and Annable used an open cellphone connection during the heist and rendezvous after Davenport gave pursuers the slip. The two transferred firearms, tools and stolen money from the Ford pickup to their own vehicle.
Davenport and Annable were arrested without incident two days later in Orem, Utah. Davenport was carrying a bag which held $27,000 in ill-gotten gains from the McCall ATM larceny.
Davenport and Annable were being held on related charges in Wyoming, where they pleaded guilty to single counts of ATM theft and aiding and abetting. They received 14-month prison terms and were transported to Idaho.
Authorities said the McCall shooting and larceny were the final crimes in a spree that lasted from October 2012 to January 2014 and stretched across Florida, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming and other states.
Annable pleaded guilty in April to bank larceny by use of a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit bank larceny. He's scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 24.
