Man Will Serve 12 Years for Man Will Serve 12 Years for Orchestrating Out-of-State Home Invasion from Prison from Prison

Sean Patrick Curtis, 29, was sentenced today to 12 years in prison for causing a home invasion while he was in custody for a state sentence.



According to documents and evidence presented in court, on the evening of January 17, 2023, two men entered a home in the State of Nevada, where a couple and their two minor children were present. The victims were held at gunpoint and an adult victim was assaulted and robbed.



Investigators later learned that Curtis directed the men to the home. At the time, Curtis was serving a sentence in the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Curtis communicated through social media applications and FaceTime to orchestrate the home invasion and target a former girlfriend. Curtis pled guilty to cyberstalking earlier this year.



U.S. District Court Judge Glen H. Davidson sentenced Curtis to 144 months imprisonment followed by a three-year term of supervised release for the offense.



"This defendant, from prison, directed a home invasion which terrorized a family and could have ended in greater tragedy,” said U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner. "Great investigative work by our partners at the FBI, and the work done by AUSA Addison led to the proper result – prison for a violent offender.”



This case was investigated by the FBI. Assistant U.S. Attorney Julie Howell Addison prosecuted the case.
