Three Indianapolis men have been sentenced to lengthy federal prison terms for their roles in a string of eight armed robberies targeting cell phone stores across the city.

Robdarius Williams, 21, was sentenced to 9.5 years; D’Maurah Bryant, 21, received 25 years; and Quintez Tucker, 20, received the harshest sentence of 30 years.

Between November 8th and December 3rd, 2021, Tucker and Bryant conducted eight armed robberies of cell phone retailers in Indianapolis and Fishers. During these robberies, they brandished firearms, threatened employees and customers, and demanded cash, phones, and accessories. Williams participated in the final robbery as the getaway driver.

“No one should have a gun pointed in their face by heartless criminals simply because they went shopping, or went to work,” said Zachary A. Myers, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “These armed criminals terrorized their victims with utter disregard for the consequences of their actions—going so far as to point an AR-style firearm at a toddler as their parent shielded the child with their body. These horrific crimes will not be tolerated in our community. The Department of Justice has no higher priority than keeping the public safe from armed, violent crimes. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the FBI, the Fishers Police Department, IMPD, and our federal prosecutors, our communities will be protected from these criminals for many years to come.”

The FBI, Fishers Police Department, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, and Marion County Prosecutor’s Office collaborated on the investigation. The lengthy sentences reflect the crimes’ seriousness and law enforcement’s commitment to hold the perpetrators accountable.

“The sentencing of these three violent felons to a combined 65 years in prison sends a strong message that our community will not tolerate such criminal behavior,” said Ed Gebhart, Fishers Police Chief, “I commend the hard work of our officers, our law enforcement partners and the justice system for ensuring that these dangerous individuals will be off the streets for a significant amount of time.”
