A brazen bank robber, Taurick Demon Walker, was sentenced to a staggering 129 months in federal prison Thursday for a string of bank robberies committed while he was on supervised release.
According to court records, Walker, 43, was convicted of bank robbery in March 2018 and sentenced to six years in federal prison. He served his time and was released in March 2023.
Just five months after his release, on Aug. 10, 2023, Walker entered a Regions Bank in Irving, passed a teller a note, and demanded ‘all your money now.’ The teller handed over a wad of cash and Walker fled the scene.
Eight days later, on Aug. 18, Walker robbed two other banks: a Truist Bank in Dallas and a Wells Fargo in Garland. On both occasions, he approached a teller and pressed a note against the glass that read ‘Bank Robbery 20,000.’
Investigators were able to link Walker to both robberies using a network of FLOCK license plate readers. In an interview with law enforcement, a family member told police she recognized a cowboy hat worn during one of the robberies as Walker’s.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Dallas Field Office conducted the investigation with the assistance of the Dallas, Garland, and Irving Police Departments. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Withers prosecuted the case.
Walker pleaded guilty in October 2024 to bank robbery and was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Jane J. Boyle to 105 months for the bank robbery plus 24 months for violating the conditions of his supervised release.
