Corinth man sentenced in armed carjacking case

June 23, 2025 – A Corinth man was sentenced today to 12 years in prison for armed carjacking.

According to court documents, Talinn Loveless, 24, previously pled guilty to taking a motor vehicle from the presence of another through force, violence, and intimidation, as well as brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. Brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence carries a mandatory seven years imprisonment consecutive to any sentence imposed for any other count of conviction.

Senior U.S. District Judge Glen H. Davidson sentenced Loveless to a total term of imprisonment of 144 months, which included 60 months for carjacking and an additional 84 months for brandishing a firearm during the commission of the offense. Upon release from prison, Loveless will be on supervision for a period of three years. Loveless was also ordered to pay $5,000.00 in restitution to the victim. He was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshal following sentencing.

“Violent criminals belong in jail, and the sentence imposed today by Judge Davidson has ensured accountability for the actions of this defendant,” said U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner. “The Corinth Police Department and the FBI conducted an outstanding investigation that ensured serious consequences for the inherently dangerous crime of armed carjacking.”

“The Corinth Police Department would like to thank the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for their hard work and assistance in this matter,” said Corinth Police Chief Landon Tucker. “This defendant was rightfully brought to justice. We will continue to prioritize the safety of our community and ensure that those who threaten public safety are held responsible.”

“Depriving innocent victims of their hard-earned property will not be tolerated,” Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Jackson Field Office Robert Eikhoff. “Mr. Loveless’ conviction and sentencing sends a clear message that the FBI and our law enforcement partners will continue to work together to pursue violent offenders relentlessly and work tirelessly to restore safety and justice to our neighborhoods.”

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Corinth Police Department, and the Mississippi Highway Patrol.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert J. Mims prosecuted the case.
