Mississippi Man Sentenced for Conspiracy and Interstate Transport of Stolen Vehicles

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - TERRENCE ROBINSON a/k/a Brian Jacobs ("ROBINSON"), age 41, a resident of Carriere, Mississippi was sentenced on July 16, 2026, after previously pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit the interstate transportation of stolen vehicles, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371, announced U.S. Attorney David I. Courcelle.

U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan sentenced ROBINSON to six months imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, and payment of a $100 mandatory special assessment fee.

According to the indictment, ROBINSON, and others, devised a scheme to create fake credit profiles to secure funding for auto loans. The credit profiles used both stolen and fake social security numbers, drivers' license numbers, and dates of birth. Once they secured the loans, they would purchase vehicles at local car dealerships with no intention of paying back the loans, only to sell the vehicles for their personal enrichment, or use the vehicles for their personal enjoyment.
