California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the felony conviction of Sirron Croskey for armed robbery, reckless evading, and possession of a loaded firearm in public. Croskey committed several robberies across Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, and Napa counties. He targeted victims in casino parking lots while using a loaded, unregistered firearm to carry out these crimes.
Following his last robbery in Napa County, Croskey tried to escape law enforcement by engaging in a high-speed chase with deputies from the Contra Costa Sheriff's Office. He abandoned his vehicle and the firearm used during the robberies and fled on foot.
Attorney General Bonta stated, “Californians deserve to live their lives free from the shadow of violence,” adding that he is "immensely proud" of his team for their dedication to justice and ensuring accountability under the law.
Croskey pleaded guilty to one felony count each of Reckless Evading and Carrying a Loaded Unregistered Firearm in Public. Additionally, he faced two felony counts of Second-Degree Robbery and admitted two enhancements for Personal Use of a Firearm. On October 23, 2024, he was sentenced in Contra Costa Superior Court to nine years and eight months in state prison. He was also ordered to pay $9,855 in restitution to seven victims.
The investigation involved multiple agencies: the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Office; American Canyon Police Department; Livermore Police Department; San Jose Police Department; and the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Gambling Control. The DOJ's Special Prosecution Section handled the case prosecution.
