Robdarius Williams, D’Maurah Bryant, and Quintez Tucker have been sentenced to a total of 65 years in federal prison for their involvement in eight armed robberies at cell phone stores around Indianapolis. The sentences were handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson.

Quintez Tucker, aged 20, received a sentence of 30 years in prison along with three years of supervised release. He was charged with eight counts of robbery and four counts of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. Additionally, he is required to pay $64,894 in restitution.

D’Maurah Bryant, aged 21, was sentenced to 25 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release. His charges included four counts of robbery and three counts of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. He must also pay $24,485 in restitution.

Robdarius Williams, also aged 21, was sentenced to nine and a half years in prison with an additional three years under supervised release. He faced one count each for robbery and brandishing a firearm during the commission of the crime.

The crimes took place between November 8 and December 3, 2021. During this period, Tucker and Bryant committed robberies at various locations including Verizon and T-Mobile stores across Indianapolis. They used firearms to threaten employees while demanding cash and merchandise from both store staff and customers. Williams participated as the getaway driver during the final robbery on December 3 at an AT&T store.

U.S Attorney Zachary A. Myers commented on the case stating: “No one should have a gun pointed in their face by heartless criminals simply because they went shopping or went to work.” He emphasized that such acts will not be tolerated within the community.

FBI Indianapolis Special Agent Herbert J. Stapleton remarked on the significance of these sentences as deterrents against future crimes: “The lengthy sentences handed out should serve as a deterrent to remind potential offenders that the FBI and our law enforcement partners are committed to protecting those who live in the communities we serve.”

Fishers Police Chief Ed Gebhart added: “The sentencing of these three violent felons to a combined 65 years in prison sends a strong message that our community will not tolerate such criminal behavior.”

This case was investigated by multiple agencies including the FBI along with Fishers Police Department and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department among others under Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), aimed at reducing violent crime through collaboration between law enforcement entities at all levels.
