INDIANAPOLIS — Three men have been sentenced to federal prison for their roles in a series of eight armed robberies at phone stores in Indianapolis and Fishers.
Quintez Tucker, 20, was charged with eight counts of robbery and four counts of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison and three years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $64,894 in restitution.
D’Maurah Bryant, 21, was charged with four counts of robbery and three counts of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison with three years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $24,485 in restitution.
Robdarius Williams, 21, was charged with one count of robbery and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. He was sentenced to 9.5 years in prison with three years of supervised release.
In April 2024, the DOJ said Tucker and Bryant each pleaded guilty. In June of 2024, a federal jury found Williams guilty following a one-and-a-half-day trial.
The trio robbed a total of eight stores in just 25 days between November 2021 and December 2021.
Court documents say Tucker and Bryant worked together to rob local cellphone stores. When they entered the stores, they would pull out guns and point them at employees. They would then steal phones, phone accessories and money from the stores and customers.
The DOJ said Williams helped on the final armed robbery as the getaway driver. Documents say he stole a license plate for the getaway car and took Tucker to pick up an AR-style rifle used in the robbery.
These are the stores they robbed:
- Verizon: 1160 Olio Road, Fishers
- T-Mobile: 1560 E. 86th St., Indianapolis
- T-Mobile: 11725 Fox Road, Indianapolis
- AT&T: 4850 Southport Road, Indianapolis
- Verizon: 1950 Kessler Blvd. West Drive, Indianapolis
- T-Mobile: 1155 E. Stop 11 Road, Indianapolis
- T-Mobile: 6929 W. 38th St., Indianapolis
- AT&T: 8855 S. Emerson Ave., Indianapolis
“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 lengthy sentences handed out should serve as a deterrent to remind potential offenders that the FBI and our law enforcement partners are committed to protecting those who live in the communities we serve,” FBI Indianapolis Special Agent in Charge Herbert J. Stapleton said. “The defendants didn’t just steal items; they instilled a sense of fear in and disrupted the lives of their victims.
The FBI investigated this case. The Fishers Police Department, IMPD and the Marion County Prosecutors Office also helped.
