A 43-year-old man has been sentenced to more than 10 years in federal prison for robbing three banks while on supervised release for a prior bank robbery conviction. Taurick Demond Walker was sentenced to 105 months for the bank robbery and an additional 24 months for violating the conditions of his supervised release, totaling 129 months in federal prison.
Walker was convicted of bank robbery in March 2018 and served six years in federal prison before being released in March 2023. Just five months after his release, on August 10, 2023, he entered a Regions Bank in Irving, Texas, handed a teller a note demanding money, and fled with the cash. Eight days later, on August 18, he robbed two other banks: a Truist Bank in Dallas and a Wells Fargo in Garland, using similar methods.
Investigators linked Walker to the robberies using a network of FLOCK license plate readers. A family member identified him from surveillance footage by recognizing a cowboy hat he wore during one of the robberies.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Dallas Field Office conducted the investigation with assistance from the Dallas, Garland, and Irving Police Departments. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Withers prosecuted the case.
