Demontrion Deshan Phillips was on court-ordered supervised release for two 2017 bank robberies when he robbed two other banks

...

An Illinois man was found guilty last week of robbing two banks last year, heists that were committed while he was on supervised release for committing two other bank robberies...

Demontrion Deshan Phillips, 28, stole $5,930 during an April 27, 2021, from the Midland States Bank in Rockford, and another $4,408 in a robbery of Midland States Bank in Belvidere weeks later...

He was convicted of four counts of bank robbery after a four-day trial.

....

In the Belvidere robbery, he threatened a teller by saying, "Don’t make me come over the counter," after he wasn't given as much money as he demanded

You could say he’s 4 for 4. Very successful.

A four day trial ..............................

But trespass the crapitol and its a life sentence.

Apparently Deshan needs more supervision.

Lax policies by lefty DAs.

Is this DA Kim Foxx’s jurisdiction?

It is surprisingly easy to rob a bank as the tellers are trained to hand over the cash and avoid a confrontation. However, it is becoming much harder to get away with one as surveillance and other technologies such as nearly impossible to detect die packs usually leads law enforcement eventually to the culprits. Plus, the days of the "million dollar" heist are over. The most cash a teller will have in their drawer at any given time is several thousand dollars, some of which is specially marked or booby trapped in some way.

Law enforcement is starting to refer to bank robberies as crimes "for losers."

Demontrion Deshan Phillips? Let's see... Must be Welsh, since Phillips is Welsh? Am I correct? 🤓

Demontrion is a DEMON!! 🤓

“Shows self motivation, creativity in overcoming obstacles, remains goal focused”... Too bad it was for illegal activities. Demonstrates poor impulse control and self destructive behavior.

He had needs. So what’s the problem? Clearly he’s underprivileged. So much hate.

“Demontrion Deshan Phillips”

Oh, and clearly a white guy.

[rexthecat]

Because that’s where the money is..

[aquila48]

“Demontrion Deshan”

Let me guess...

[aquila48]

Demontrion Deshan...

[FlingWingFlyer]

Demontrion? Hell, his name alone could scare the hell out of the judges.

[Menehune56]

Well that’s a shocker.

Rockford is a popular target for bank robberies. Convenient locations near the highways and other high speed feeder roads.

Midland States Banks in Rockford used to Alpine Banks.

Here is another loser who was attached to a couple of other bank robberies. He got more than surveillance.

I have no idea how banks are run these days, but on those rare instances when I visit a teller (to break a twenty, so I don’t burden the dry cleaner) they run it through a machine that resembles an ATM. I am pretty sure that they have some sort of duress code. They need to enter data and transaction type to get money out.

Who in his right mind would even attempt to rob a bank today?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The kidnapping victim is interesting. She was smart. Cars have trunk release levers (lighted, I believe) inside the trunk these days, for just that reason. She waited until he stopped and started again, realizing that that was her best chance. Otherwise she might be dead today.
