Bank Robber Sentenced to 92 Months in Prison
In a string of brazen bank robberies, Jamie Josuhnta Ryans, 27, from Montgomery, Alabama, was sentenced to 92 months in federal prison, announced Acting United States Attorney Sandra J. Stewart on December 3, 2021.
Ryans pleaded guilty in September to robbing banks in four different counties in central Alabama, including BB&T Bank in Montgomery, Alabama, robbed on October 17, 2019; BanccorpSouth Bank in Hayneville, Alabama, robbed on October 25, 2019; Community Neighbor Bank in Greenville, Alabama, robbed on November 6, 2019; and First National Bank of Dozier in Dozier, Alabama, robbed on December 11, 2019.
During each of the robberies, Ryans entered the bank and gave the teller a note demanding money but did not produce a firearm or show that he had one. However, during the December 11th robbery, Ryans did imply to the teller that he had a gun in his pocket.
Ryans’ prison sentence will be followed by three years of supervised release. The judge also ordered that Ryans pay $7,853.70 in restitution to the banks.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Montgomery Police Department, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the Hayneville Police Department, the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office, the Greenville Police Department, the Butler County Sheriff’s Office, and the Crenshaw County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA). Assistant United States Attorney Russell Duraski prosecuted the case.
Ryans’ accomplice, Kendrick Deantay Flynn, a 31-year-old from Montgomery, was previously sentenced to 38 months for his role in the First National Bank robbery in Dozier.
