Andre Antoine Walker, Bank Robbery, Maryland 2015

Baltimore, Maryland – Two Temple Hill men, Andre Antoine Walker and Malcolm Xavier Green, have pleaded guilty to a series of bank robberies that took place in Maryland and Virginia in 2015.

According to their plea agreements, Walker and Green conspired to rob banks in Maryland and Virginia, engaging in a series of bank robberies from July 1 through July 24, 2015. The robbers presented a note to the teller demanding money and threatening harm if the teller did not comply.

Specifically, on July 1, July 13 and July 17, 2015, Green and Walker robbed banks in Camp Springs, Baltimore and Millington, Maryland, respectively. In the robbery on July 17th, Walker displayed a gun to the teller, brandishing it multiple times.

Green and Walker stole $1,229 in the first robbery, approximately $100 in the second robbery, and $5,364 in the third robbery. They also robbed a bank in Lovettsville, Virginia, stealing $4,000.

The total amount stolen in the four robberies was over $10,590. Investigators identified Green through a fingerprint analysis of the note from July 17th robbery, and Walker from surveillance footage of the robberies.

Walker and Green were arrested on August 3, 2015, and the gun was recovered from Walker's vehicle. Walker and Green advised that they had spent all the money they stole, including to pay part of a $20,000 debt Green owed to a drug dealer.

Walker and Green face a maximum penalty of five years in prison for the conspiracy, a maximum of 20 years in prison for each of two counts of bank robbery, a maximum of 25 years in prison for armed bank robbery, and a mandatory minimum of seven years in prison, consecutive to any other sentence imposed, and up to life in prison for brandishing a firearm in relation to a crime of violence.

U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett has scheduled sentencing for Green on May 31, 2016, and for Walker on July 21, 2016, both at 3:00 p.m.

United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the FBI, Prince George's County Police Department, Kent County Sheriff's Office, Baltimore County Police Department, and Loudoun County, Virginia Sheriff's Office for their work in the investigation and recognized the Loudoun County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office for its assistance in the prosecution.
