NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA –DARRYL HENRY (“HENRY”), age 27, was
sentenced on October 9, 2019, for committing three Hobbs Act Robberies and
Brandishing a Firearm during a Crime of Violence, announced United States

On August 24, 2018, HENRY entered the Walmart Supercenter at

Louisiana, and unsuccessfully attempted to rob a clerk at that location. HENRY
then drove to the Walmart Neighborhood Market located 3265 Manhattan Boulevard,
Harvey, Louisiana, and passed a demand note to a cashier while holding a gun in
his right hand. HENRY ultimately fled the store with $6,992.00 in United States
currency.
HENRY was sentenced to 180 months by United States District
Judge Lance M. Africk. HENRY was also sentenced to a period of five (5) years
of supervised release after his term of imprisonment.
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is the centerpiece of the
Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be
effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of
stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems
in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part
of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders
and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions
in crime.
U.S. Attorney Strasser praised the diligent work of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation’s New Orleans Violent Crime Task Force, the New
Orleans Police Department, and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office. Assistant
U.S. Attorney Myles Ranier is handling the prosecution.
