United States Attorney Matthew D. Krueger has announced that
last Friday, United States District Judge Lynn Adelman sentenced Lamont Walker
to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release after
Walker pled guilty to attempting to rob a Walgreens store and brandishing a gun
during the attempted robbery.
At his plea hearing, Walker admitted that he attempted to
rob the Walgreens store located at 2826 North Dr. Martin Luther King Drive,
Milwaukee, on August 22, 2018. He
further admitted that he brandished a loaded 9mm handgun after entering the
Walgreens. Walker fled the store without having obtained any money or other
property and was involved in a foot chase with police officers, during which he
threw the handgun onto the roof of Pete’s Fruit Market. Officers recovered the
firearm. Walker was on state supervision at the time he committed the attempted
robbery and faces revocation.
Walker’s sentence includes a 7-year mandatory minimum
sentence on the charge of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence.
This sentence must run consecutive to any other sentence, including a state
revocation sentence.
This case was investigated by the FBI’s Milwaukee Area
Violent Crimes Task Force and the Milwaukee Police Department. The case was
prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Margaret B. Honrath.
