Montgomery, Alabama – 21-year-old Jamarcus Dewayne Hatcher is spending the next 30 years behind bars after a federal judge sentenced him to 360 months in prison for his role in a 2023 armed robbery.
Hatcher, a resident of Montgomery, Alabama, entered a gas station in Hope Hull, Alabama on April 6, 2023, and walked to the counter. He pulled a pistol out of his pocket and pointed it at the cashier, then told the cashier to ‘give me all the money.’ After the cashier handed Hatcher the cash from the register, which was approximately $90, Hatcher demanded to know where the cameras were located.
Hatcher then walked into the side office area and shot into a device that he believed to be the security DVR. He quickly exited the station and fled on foot. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Montgomery Police Department, and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office investigated this case, with assistance from the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office.
Assistant United States Attorney John J. Geer prosecuted the case. Hatcher pleaded guilty to Hobbs Act robbery and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence on January 22, 2024. The judge also considered five separate armed robberies or attempted armed robberies of gas station convenience stores and walk-up restaurants involving Hatcher.
Hatcher’s sentencing hearing took place on May 1, 2024. The evidence collected from the scene, including video footage, supported his guilty plea. Hatcher’s actions put the lives of innocent people at risk, and his sentence reflects the severity of his crimes.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama announced Hatcher’s sentence. This case serves as a reminder of the consequences of committing violent crimes. The public can rest assured that those who put their lives in danger will face justice.
