A string of armed bank and business robberies in Milwaukee and West Allis, Wisconsin, has come to an end as five siblings from the Mickey family have been sentenced to prison.
The crimes, which took place in 2015 and 2016, were committed by Bobby Mickey, Terrill Brown, Brandon Mickey, Dominique Brown, and Doris Brown. The siblings used guns in the commission of the crimes, which were designed to obtain money, liquor, and firearms.
The sisters, Dominique and Doris Brown, aided and abetted the robberies by casing the banks and holding doors open at locked entrances to allow their brothers access to the banks.
Bobby Mickey, 25, was sentenced to 184 months in prison after pleading guilty to five robberies and one count of brandishing a firearm in connection with a crime of violence.
Terrill Brown, 29, received 154 months in prison after pleading guilty to three robberies and one count of brandishing a firearm in connection with a crime of violence.
Brandon Mickey, 21, was sentenced to 152 months in prison after pleading guilty to four robberies and one count of brandishing a firearm in connection with a crime of violence.
Dominique Brown, 30, was sentenced to 58 months in prison after pleading guilty to aiding and abetting one bank robbery.
Doris Brown, 27, received 48 months in prison after pleading guilty to aiding and abetting one bank robbery.
United States Attorney Gregory J. Haanstad emphasized the importance of combating violent crime in the district and the need for substantial prison sentences for those who use firearms in the commission of crimes.
The successful prosecution of this case was the result of a collaborative law enforcement effort by the Milwaukee Area Violent Crime Task Force, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Milwaukee Police Department, and the West Allis Police Department.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Margaret B. Honrath.
