Kansas City duo sentenced for armed robberies

Kansas City, MO – A Kansas City, MO, man and woman were sentenced in federal court for their roles in a three-month-long spree of armed robberies at metropolitan area businesses.

Isaac J. Williams, 25, also known as ‘Dat Flyguy,’ was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison without parole, while Rahnice J. Clay, 25, was sentenced to eight years in federal prison without parole.

The pair, along with co-defendants Deitra M. Turner and Donald L. Boggess, participated in a conspiracy that involved 13 armed robberies of businesses in the metropolitan area between July 25 and Oct. 20, 2015. Approximately $19,500 in proceeds and property were stolen during the course of the conspiracy.

Williams admitted to participating in the armed robbery conspiracy, two counts of robbery and two counts of aiding and abetting the brandishing of a firearm during a crime of violence. He was involved in the Aug. 18, 2015, armed robbery of the MetroPCS store at 4513 Independence Ave., Kansas City, Mo., and the Aug. 21, 2015, armed robbery of the Phillips 66 gas station at 7531 Troost Ave., Kansas City, Mo.

Clay pleaded guilty to two counts of aiding and abetting robbery and two counts of aiding and abetting the brandishing of a firearm during a crime of violence. She admitted to being involved in the Sept. 11, 2015, armed robbery of a metroPCS store at 723 Southwest Blvd., Kansas City, Mo., and the Sept. 12, 2015, armed robbery of a GameStop store at 906 Westport Rd., Kansas City, Mo.

Approximately $2,627 and $312 were stolen during the metroPCS robberies, respectively. In the Aug. 21, 2015, Phillips 66 robbery, Williams and Turner entered the store, while Clay was at the gas pump as the lookout and Boggess remained in the car, as he was the getaway driver.

The duo was arrested and charged with armed robberies and aiding and abetting the brandishing of a firearm during a crime of violence. Williams and Clay’s sentences bring an end to a three-year-long investigation into the conspiracy.
