Khyri Deandre Brown, a 28-year-old from Dallas, Georgia, has been sentenced to over ten years in prison for a series of bank robberies and attempted robberies. Brown's crime spree occurred in November 2023 and involved the use of a firearm.
"Brown repeatedly threatened the lives of bank employees and customers by robbing or attempting to rob banks at gunpoint," stated U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. He emphasized that this case demonstrates effective law enforcement collaboration across jurisdictions, which was crucial in apprehending Brown.
Paul Brown, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta, highlighted the importance of cooperation between federal and local agencies: "This case highlights the FBI’s commitment to working closely with our local partners to identify and arrest violent offenders who threaten public safety."
The incidents began on November 17, 2023, when Brown attempted to rob a Wells Fargo Bank branch in Hampton, Georgia. He used a Pringles potato chip can as part of his approach but fled without any money. Similar attempts followed at other banks until he successfully robbed a Fifth Third Bank branch on November 27, 2023.
Brown was arrested by officers from the Dallas Police Department on November 29, 2023. They found cash and a firearm in his vehicle.
On June 30, 2025, U.S. District Judge Sarah E. Geraghty sentenced him to ten years and five months in prison plus three years of supervised release after he pleaded guilty earlier this year.
The investigation involved multiple law enforcement agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and several local police departments.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wylly and former Special Assistant U.S. Attorney McClellon D. Cox III prosecuted the case.
