Mobile County Man Sentenced To 46 Months For Role In Bank Robbery

The United States Attorney Kenyen Brown announces that Jason Dixon, a 20 year old resident of Mobile, Alabama was sentenced today to 46 months incarceration and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $5400.00 to Century Bank on Grand Bay Wilmer Road in Grand Bay, Alabama. After completion of his incarceration, he will serve a term of supervised release of three years.

On August 14, 2015, Mr. Dixon pled guilty pursuant to a plea agreement that noted he was one of two men that robbed two banks in the area during March of this year. One each occasion, his cohort acted as the masked man who entered the banks and obtained the money after threatening to shoot the tellers if they did not comply. No actual gun was displayed or used. Dixon acted as the getaway driver both times. The other bank robbery occurred at the Bancorp South Bank on Schilliger Road. All the money from that robbery was recovered.

Special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation along with Mobile, Alabama police officers investigated the case and presented it to the U.S. Attorney's Office for prosecution. The prosecutor assigned to the case is Assistant United States Attorney, Gina S. Vann.
