Raven Simone Sayers, 23, of Hallandale, FL, was arrested and detained in connection with the two St. Lucie County PNC bank robberies.
On July 8, 2013, two PNC banks, located in Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie, Florida, were robbed almost simultaneously at gunpoint by groups of black males wearing white clothing and white cloth masks.
The groups of males fled in mini vans stolen earlier that morning, with one group being apprehended after a police chase that ended near the intersection of Port St. Lucie Boulevard and Aster Road in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Upon execution of a state search warrant on the white Chrysler sedan, a large amount of currency, a semi-automatic handgun, several cellular phones, cloth gloves, and numerous articles of clothing, consistent with what the bank robbers wore during the robbery of the PNC Bank in Fort Pierce, Florida, was recovered.
The driver, Tomaleesha Jeffie Laqua McKeliver, and the three passengers, Anthony Isaac Johnson, Allan Demetrius Bradford, and Ivory Lee Robinson, III, were arrested and transported to the Port St. Lucie Police Department.
Raven Simone Sayers made her initial appearance on September 26, 2013, and was ordered detained pending trial as both a risk of flight and danger to the community by U.S. Magistrate Judge Frank J. Lynch, Jr. in Ft. Pierce.
She is scheduled for arraignment on Friday, October 4, 2013.
If convicted of the Hobbs Act robbery conspiracy, Sayers faces a possible maximum statutory sentence of 20 years in prison.
If convicted of the conspiracy to use and carry a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, Sayers faces a mandatory minimum of seven years, and a possible maximum sentence of life, in prison, consecutive to any other sentence imposed.
