Khyri Deandre Brown, a 28-year-old resident of Dallas, Georgia, has been sentenced to over ten years in prison for his involvement in a series of bank robberies and attempted robberies. The crimes took place in November 2023 and involved the use of a firearm.
U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg commented on the case, stating, “Brown repeatedly threatened the lives of bank employees and customers by robbing or attempting to rob banks at gunpoint.” He highlighted the importance of law enforcement partnerships in successfully prosecuting offenders like Brown, whose criminal activities spanned multiple jurisdictions.
Paul Brown, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta, emphasized the FBI’s dedication to collaborating with local partners to apprehend violent offenders. “Brown’s armed crime spree endangered innocent lives across multiple communities,” he said. The cooperation between various law enforcement agencies led to Brown’s arrest before further harm could occur.
The court heard that on November 17, 2023, Brown attempted to rob a Wells Fargo Bank branch in Hampton, Georgia but fled without obtaining any money. The following day, he entered a Truist Bank branch in Atlanta with a firearm but again left empty-handed after pointing the gun at a teller. On November 22 and November 27, similar incidents occurred at Truist Bank branches in Marietta and Fifth Third Bank respectively; however, during the latter robbery, Brown managed to steal cash using a Pringles can as a container.
Brown was arrested on November 29 by officers from the Dallas Police Department after being stopped in Paulding County. At the time of his arrest, police found cash and other items linked to the robberies.
On June 30, 2025, U.S. District Judge Sarah E. Geraghty sentenced Brown to ten years and five months imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release. His conviction included charges such as attempted bank robbery and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with assistance from several local police departments including those from Atlanta and Cobb County. Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wylly along with former Special Assistant U.S. Attorney McClellon D. Cox III prosecuted the case.
