Defendant Sentenced for String of Metro-Atlanta Bank Robberies
Patrick Jerome Mouton, a 47-year-old Atlanta man, has been sentenced to five years and ten months in prison for his role in a string of nine metro-Atlanta bank robberies. Mouton’s crimes, which took place between September 2017 and February 2018, left bank employees and customers shaken and on edge.
During the robberies, Mouton would approach tellers and hand them a threatening note that demanded cash. In some cases, he would even threaten harm to the employees if they did not comply with his demands.
The case was investigated by a collaborative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Alpharetta Police Department, Sandy Springs Police Department, Cobb County Police Department, and Atlanta Police Department.
U.S. Attorney Byung J. ‘BJay’ Pak praised the work of the law enforcement agencies involved in the case, saying, ‘Whether by firearm or threatening note, bank robberies strike fear in the hearts of bank employees and customers. Citizens trying to do their jobs or conduct their banking business deserve to feel safe in their communities.’
The FBI’s Atlanta field office also commended the efforts of the law enforcement agencies, saying, ‘Mouton’s conviction was made possible by a collaborative effort with our law enforcement partners in Atlanta, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, and Cobb County. To anyone thinking about robbing a bank, the message from this sentence is clear. You will get caught, and when you do, you will serve a significant amount of time in prison.’
Patrick Mouton was convicted on January 30, 2019, after he pleaded guilty to the charges. He was sentenced to five years and ten months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $15,734.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan prosecuted the case, and the U.S. Attorney’s Public Affairs Office can be reached at USAGAN.PressEmails@usdoj.gov or (404) 581-6016 for further information.
