A serial bank robber has been sentenced to more than 10 years in federal prison after robbing three banks while on supervised release for a previous conviction. Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, Chad Meacham, announced the sentencing of Taurick Demon Walker, 43.
Walker was charged in August 2023 and indicted in September. He pleaded guilty to bank robbery in October 2024. U.S. District Judge Jane J. Boyle sentenced him to 105 months for the bank robbery and an additional 24 months for violating his supervised release conditions, totaling 129 months.
Court records show that Walker had previously been convicted of bank robbery in March 2018 and served six years before being released in March 2023. Five months post-release, on August 10, Walker robbed a Regions Bank in Irving by handing a note demanding money to a teller.
Eight days later, he committed two more robberies at Truist Bank in Dallas and Wells Fargo in Garland using similar methods involving threatening notes.
Investigators connected Walker to these crimes through FLOCK license plate readers. A family member identified him from surveillance footage by recognizing a cowboy hat he wore during one of the robberies.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Dallas Field Office with help from local police departments in Dallas, Garland, and Irving. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Withers prosecuted the case.
