Terry indicted for Loan robbery
The man accused of robbing McMinnville Loan was indicted Friday.
The defendant, Vinkey Terry, 56, was indicted on the charge of aggravated robbery for his role this June in the hold up of the Chancery Street loan institution located across from Bobby Ray School.
Lawmen say Terry, who had formerly done business with the company, walked in to the institution and robbed it at gunpoint for several thousand dollars. Terry then fled the scene but the manager of the store got his tag number, putting police immediately on his tail.
Terry was able to avoid apprehension the day of the heist, fleeing into the woods behind his cabin on Harrison Ferry Mountain. He was taken into custody the following day when lawmen returned to the cabin.
Terry would later lead police to the BB gun he passed off as a real firearm during the robbery; however, authorities are yet to recover the money taken in the heist.
