Dennis Edward Stephen, Bank Robbery, Texas 2018
A 42-year-old San Antonio man has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for stealing approximately $479,000 from multiple banks in the area.
U.S. Attorney John F. Bash announced the sentencing of Dennis Edward Stephen, who pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery on November 8, 2018.
According to court records, Stephen admitted to committing eight different bank robberies in San Antonio and the surrounding area between November 14, 2013, and July 23, 2018.
The robberies include:
- November 14, 2013; April 17, 2014; and September 19, 2014 – Frost Bank on Vance Jackson Rd. – approximately $37,604; $36,280; and $133,000 stolen, respectively;
- November 24, 2015 – Broadway Bank in Helotes, TX – approximately $11,323 stolen;
- June 16, 2016 – Frost Bank on Wurzbach Rd. – approximately $56,077 stolen;
- November 4, 2016; July 5, 2017; and July 23, 2018 – Frost Bank on N. Loop 1604 – approximately $67,000; $101,000; and $36,561 stolen, respectively.
Authorities dubbed Stephen the “Camry Cruzin’ Bandit” because he drove a Toyota Camry during his scheme and often wore the same attire while committing the robberies.
Stephen was arrested on July 23, 2018, following the Frost Bank robbery, and has since remained in federal custody.
U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez ordered that Stephen pay $442,284 restitution and be placed on supervised release for a period of three years after completing his prison term.
‘The financial industry is critical to American capitalism. Today’s 15-year sentence makes clear that it ultimately doesn’t pay to target banks,’ stated U.S. Attorney Bash.
