NEWS FROM THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE: Michael Boone has been sentenced by Judge J.R. Gaines to 20 years in prison for his role in a 2023 armed robbery in which a sleeping victim was repeatedly struck in the head and robbed at gunpoint, District Attorney Azzie Oliver announced.
Boone pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery during the hearing, where evidence showed that on April 28, 2023, he and an accomplice entered the victim’s vehicle. The victim, who was parked in 100 block of N. Burbank Drive, was asleep in the driver’s seat. The two men pulled out fi****ms, and Boone, who was in the back seat, struck the victim multiple times in the head. Boone and his accomplice then stole the victim’s cash, jewelry, and a gun before fleeing the scene.
District Attorney Azzie Oliver said, “Armed robberies are dangerous, violent crimes that put innocent lives at risk. When individuals use fi****ms to threaten, assault, and rob others, they must be held accountable. This 20-year sentence sends a clear message: those who engage in violent criminal activity involving fi****ms will face serious consequences, and my office will pursue prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.”
DA Oliver commended Deputy District Attorney Olivia Plowman for her thorough preparation and outstanding work in securing the outcome of the case. She also expressed her appreciation to Montgomery Police Department Detectives S. Scheeren and C. H. Forest for their investigative efforts and commitment to securing justice for the victim.
