LEXINGTON, Ky. (KT) – Two Nashville, Tenn., men, Markwez Wynn, 26, and Stephen Hampton, 26, have been sentenced at U.S. District Court in Lexington to 65 months and 60 months in prison, respectively, on charges of bank robbery by intimidation and/or aiding and abetting bank robbery by intimidation during a three-state crime spree.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky says, according to their plea agreements, from May 2023 until May 2024, Wynn robbed four banks and Hampton participated in robbing three banks located in Tennessee, Indiana and Kentucky.
Wynn robbed one bank in Nashville alone, threatening to kill the teller if an alarm went off. In two of the robberies, while Wynn robbed the bank, Hampton acted as the getaway driver. Wynn was disguised and obtained access to the vault in each of these robberies, getting away with $81,500 and $109,500 in cash, respectively.
