A Las Vegas man, Devonte Devon Jackson, has been indicted in connection with the armed robbery of an armored truck outside a bank in Las Vegas. Jackson was arrested in Centerville, Texas on July 29, 2025, by Texas State Troopers and extradited to Las Vegas to face federal charges.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Jackson allegedly brandished a black handgun during the July 16 incident and stole approximately $327,620 from the armored vehicle. He is charged with one count of interference with commerce by robbery and one count of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.
United States Magistrate Judge Elayna J. Youchah has scheduled a jury trial for October 20, 2025. If convicted, Jackson faces up to 20 years in prison for interference with commerce by robbery and a mandatory consecutive sentence of seven years for brandishing a firearm. The final sentence will be determined by a federal district court judge after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The case was announced by United States Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada and Acting Special Agent in Charge Jeremy Schwartz for the FBI Las Vegas Division. It is being investigated by the FBI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Tina M. Snellings is prosecuting.
“An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
