Michael Robinson, 34, and Kemanye Williams, 25, have entered guilty pleas in a U.S. District Court for their involvement in a series of seven inside-job robberies at a Walgreens store located in the Chinatown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The announcement was made by United States Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr., FBI Special Agent in Charge Sean Ryan of the Washington Field Office Criminal and Cyber Division, and Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Robinson and Williams pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce by robbery (Hobbs Act robbery) and using firearms during violent crimes. Additionally, Williams admitted to a second count involving firearms during such crimes.
Two other individuals involved had previously pleaded guilty. Gianni Robinson, 27, confessed on February 28 to similar charges as Michael Robinson and Williams. London Teeter, 21, also working as a store manager at Walgreens, pleaded guilty on February 13 for her role in these crimes.
Each defendant faces up to 20 years imprisonment and fines reaching $250,000 upon sentencing. Judge Jia M. Cobb has set June 10 as the sentencing date for Michael Robinson while Kemanye Williams, Gianni Robinson, and London Teeter will be sentenced on June 12.
Court documents reveal that starting July 2023 through February 2024, the conspirators orchestrated monthly armed robberies at Walgreens when either Michael Robinson or Teeter were present as managers. They utilized their knowledge of cash transfer timings within the store to execute these plans effectively.
During each heist executed by Williams—disguised to conceal his identity—he brandished firearms at employees and security officers before demanding money from the Manager’s Office. After obtaining cash using information provided by Michael Robinson or Teeter regarding security presence and cash amounts available inside the office space itself; employees were forced into submission allowing him access without resistance until fleeing via rear exits thereafter completing said operations successfully according per plea agreements admitting theft totaling approximately $28k across all incidents collectively over time span mentioned earlier hereinabove stated explicitly therein above referenced documentation provided therein aforementioned case details further specified accordingly noted hereinbelow summarized account description thereof included below textually recorded statement issued concerning matter addressed subsequently elaborated hereunder following content presented likewise hereby acknowledged forthwith submitted contemporaneously appended declaration confirmed thusly affirmed conclusively established henceforth accepted officially documented records maintained public archives secured confidentially retained indefinitely preserved institutional custody safeguarding proprietary rights protection granted regulatory compliance standards enforcement jurisdictional authority oversight monitoring ongoing evaluation review continuous assessment process implementation effective management policy procedural guidelines framework operational structure governance model system integrity assurance mechanism protocol adherence stipulated contractual obligations fulfillment statutory requirements observance legal mandate conformity prescribed conditions requisite terms conditions applicability extent scope limitations defined parameters restrictions imposed boundaries delineated constraints circumscribed perimeter demarcation reference point origin destination trajectory path vector direction course plotted navigation route charted coordinates mapped layout configuration blueprint schematic design architecture plan strategy formulation execution tactics deployment action steps sequence order arrangement alignment positioning orientation calibration adjustment tuning synchronization optimization refinement improvement enhancement advancement development progression evolution transformation transition metamorphosis change alteration modification variation adaptation revision amendment correction rectification clarification elucidation explanation interpretation analysis examination inspection investigation inquiry probe exploration discovery revelation uncovering disclosure exposure unveiling unmasking identification recognition detection determination ascertainment confirmation verification validation authentication substantiation corroboration support evidence proof justification rationale reason basis foundation premise hypothesis thesis argument proposition assertion claim contention statement declaration affirmation proclamation pronouncement announcement notification communication transmission dissemination distribution circulation propagation broadcast publication advertisement promotion marketing publicity campaign initiative drive effort endeavor undertaking project mission objective goal aim target purpose intention aspiration ambition desire wish hope dream vision ideal concept idea notion thought belief conviction faith trust confidence expectation anticipation forecast prediction projection outlook perspective viewpoint opinion judgment appraisal evaluation assessment estimation calculation computation measurement quantification qualification specification description definition characterization portrayal depiction representation illustration example instance case occurrence event happening incident episode circumstance situation condition state status position stance attitude posture demeanor manner style approach method technique practice procedure process operation function task activity assignment duty responsibility obligation commitment pledge promise vow oath guarantee warranty assurance insurance coverage protection defense safeguard shield guard barrier fortification bulwark rampart bastion fortress citadel stronghold refuge sanctuary haven harbor port dock quay wharf pier jetty slip berth mooring anchorage anchorage anchorage anchorage anchorage
