A third suspect in the armed bank robbery of Rockland Trust in Tisbury was sentenced to a stint in prison on Tuesday.
U.S. District Court Judge William G. Young issued a 3½-year prison sentence to Tevin Anthony Porter from Connecticut on Jan. 28 in Boston. However, Porter will serve only four months of imprisonment before he is released on a two-year parole, since Young gave him credit for serving time since April 12, 2023.
Porter was arrested in 2023, and was the last of four suspects detained in relation to a 2022 bank robbery in Tisbury. He entered a plea deal last spring.
Prosecutors say that the men, wearing masks and carrying two handguns, forced the bank employees to open the bank vault before making away with around $39,100. The bank employees were bound with duct tape and plastic zip ties, and the defendants escaped in one of the employees’ cars. They abandoned the vehicle at Manuel Correllus State Forest, and fled in another vehicle.
Romane Andre Clayton, the lookout man, was sentenced to four years on Jan. 22. Miquel Antonio Jones, the ringleader, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in December.
Omar Odion Johnson, who also entered into a plea deal, is awaiting his sentencing.
Rob a bank – four months. Take a selfie – four years.
Not sure what the selfie comment is about, but I think I know– You shouldn’t put selfies of yourself trying to kill police officers on line — good advice.. But this guy has already been in jail for over a year and a half. – in horrible conditions , by the way– He will do another 4 months, bringing him close to 2 years for being the getaway driver, and getting about 10 k in “booty”. So you- know -who stole hundreds of thousands from a charity– how despicable– stealing from charitable foundations is worse ( in my opinion) than stealing from a bank. Would you agree ? And that person who stole all that money agreed to pay back $11,525 in foundation funds that he spent on portraits of himself, sports memorabilia and champagne at a charity gala. Steal money to provide alcohol and get people drunk enough to donate to a charity so you can steal more money– A good scam if you can get away with it– Which you- know- who apparently did. And just in case you didn’t know, not a single Jan 6 rioter, peaceful or violent spent anywhere near 4 years in jail. Now let me be clear, I am not advocating for robbing banks, stealing from charitable foundations, assaulting police officers’ defecating on the desks of elected officials,attempting to murder government officials , or disrupting official the proceedings of constitutionally mandated procedures for the peaceful transition of power.
