Oakland County Prosecutor Charges Flint Man With Bank Robbery

PONTIAC, Mich.- Oakland County Prosecutor KAREN D. McDONALD charged Jacquan Coreyonteliace Burks-Burnett, a 32-year-old resident of Flint with Bank Robbery.

On October 21, the defendant allegedly entered the Fifth Third Bank branch in Troy wearing a face mask, gloves, and yellow glasses to demand money from two tellers. Witnesses reported that he then walked to the Somerset mall parking lot where he left his vehicle, which lacked a license plate. Flock footage was used to identify the vehicle and locate the defendant.

"Bank robberies are traumatizing and dangerous experiences for both tellers and customers," said Prosecutor McDonald. "Law enforcement worked quickly to locate this defendant and he will be held accountable."

Bank Robbery is punishable by any term of years in prison, up to life.

Charges are accusations and individuals are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
