Former federal prison officer pleads guilty to sexual abuse of inmates

WASHINGTON — A Maryland man has been sentenced to 77 months in prison for the armed robbery of a TD Bank in northeast Washington, D.C. Ronald Lamont Jenkins, 36, of Temple Hills, Maryland, was convicted today and ordered to pay $8,345 in restitution to the bank. The sentence was announced by U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves, along with FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge David Geist and Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela A. Smith.

Jenkins pleaded guilty to bank robbery before U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss on May 12, 2024. In addition to his prison sentence, Jenkins will serve three years of probation after his incarceration.

The robbery occurred on June 13, 2022, at the TD Bank in the 900 block of Rhode Island Avenue NE. According to court documents, Jenkins entered the bank shortly after the security guard paused. He was wearing a black hoodie, gray sweatpants, neon yellow gloves and brown boots. He approached a teller, ordered him to “open the drawer,” and revealed the handle of a handgun in his waistband when the teller hesitated. Jenkins took more than $8,000 from the register but dropped several bills as he fled the scene.

Investigators reviewed surveillance footage from nearby businesses and residences that showed Jenkins fleeing on foot. FBI agents searched the area and seized several items of clothing and accessories, including neon yellow gloves and a sweatshirt matching the description used in the robbery, as well as a $100 bill with Jenkins' fingerprints on it.

Jenkins was arrested following a thorough investigation by the FBI and the Metropolitan Police Department, who together collected evidence linking him to the crime.

TAMPA, Fla. – A Tampa man has been sentenced to more than 20 years in a federal prison for drug trafficking and weapons possession, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Mitchell Wilson, 35, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Thomas P. Barber to 20 years and 8 months in prison for possession of methamphetamine and fentanyl with the intent to resell, possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking and possession of a firearm as a convicted felon.

Wilson, who pleaded guilty on November 22, 2023, will receive a Smith & Wesson Model M&P Shield 9mm pistol and ammunition as part of sentencing. According to court records, Wilson was a major drug trafficker in the Middle District of Florida who was involved in drug trafficking and firearms possession.

Wilson was arrested in September 2022 after selling fentanyl to a confidential source. Three days later, law enforcement seized 97 grams of pure methamphetamine, 36 grams of a fentanyl-cocaine mixture, and a loaded firearm from a backpack he was carrying from a hotel room to his car.

Wilson admitted to receiving over 2 kilograms of fentanyl and cocaine from a drug trafficking organization in Palmetto Beach in the 10 months prior to his arrest. Agents also seized a drug ledger and cash upon his arrest, suggesting he remains involved in drug trafficking.

Wilson, who had previously been convicted of several serious crimes, including four drug trafficking charges, had been released from prison for just over a year at the time of his arrest.
