BANK ROBBER SENTENCED TO NEARLY 18 YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON

Defendants Brandished Firearms and Ordered Individuals to
Lie on Ground at Bank in Richardson, Texas

DALLAS — A Dallas man, Quincy Lamon Walters, Jr., 25, who admitted robbing the Bank of America at 2210 N. Coit Road, in Richardson, Texas, on July 31, 2006, was sentenced this morning to a total of 214 months (nearly 18 years) in prison, announced U.S. Attorney Richard B. Roper of the Northern District of Texas. Walters pled guilty to one count of bank robbery and one count of using, carrying and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. Walters’ co-defendant, Lorenzo Scott, 34, who pled guilty to the same charges, was sentenced last week by U.S. District Judge David C. Godbey to a total of 171 months (14.25 months) in prison.

At approximately 9:00 a.m. on July 31, 2006, Walters and Scott, both wearing security-type uniforms, entered the bank and brandishing firearms, ordered all individuals to lie on the ground. Walters approached the teller counter and demanded cash from three victim tellers and placed the currency in a plastic shopping bag. They both then left the bank and were later arrested. During the execution of a search warrant on their apartment and a vehicle parked near the apartment, most of the stolen currency was recovered.

U.S. Attorney Roper praised the investigative efforts of the FBI and the Richardson Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Keith Robinson prosecuted the case.
