Marquis Von Clemons, Bank Robbery, Maryland 2023
Serial Bank Robber Sentenced to Seven Years in Federal Prison
In a significant victory for law enforcement, Marquis Von Clemons, a 38-year-old man from Langley Park, Maryland, has been sentenced to 92 months in federal prison for his role in a string of bank robberies in Prince George's County.
According to court documents, Clemons was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang on February 13, 2019 and February 19, 2019, at a bank in Hyattsville, Maryland. During the robberies, Clemons passed a note to the teller stating, "I have a gun, do not say anything," and fled the bank with a sum of cash.
The investigation into Clemons' crimes was a collaborative effort between the FBI and the Prince George's County Police Department. Surveillance cameras captured footage of Clemons during the robberies, including a masked individual fleeing the bank.
After Clemons was apprehended, a search warrant was executed at his residence, where law enforcement recovered the distinctive hat and shoes worn during the robbery. Additionally, a DNA analysis confirmed that the clothing discarded by Clemons during his flight from the bank was linked to him.
Clemons had previously been released from prison after serving a four-year sentence for robbing the same bank. His most recent sentence includes a three-year period of supervised release. Clemons is also required to forfeit and pay restitution in the amount of $5,080.
United States Attorney Robert K. Hur praised the FBI and the Prince George's Police Department for their work in the investigation, saying, "This sentence demonstrates the commitment of our law enforcement partners to bringing violent offenders to justice," Hur added. "I commend the Assistant U.S. Attorneys Rajeev R. Raghavan and Dana J. Brusca for their tireless efforts in prosecuting this case."
