Davon Williams, 23, has struck a plea deal with federal prosecutors in exchange for his testimony, court records show. He is scheduled to be sentenced in September.

The robberies included a holdup of an armored vehicle outside a Walmart in nearby Bowie that was caught on camera. During that holdup, a Garda armored car pulled up to the entrance of the Walmart to pick up receipts from weekend. Just as a worker approached the armored vehicle carrying bags of money, three masked gunmen pulled up in a white van. One of them can be seen on video pointing a gun at the man’s head and snatching the bags containing $88,000 in cash, and checks totaling $13,000.

The three were charged with the September 2011 armed robbery at a Navy Federal branch, where they allegedly threatened employees and made off with $100,427, some of which they dropped as they ran away. The three also were charged with an October armed robbery at a Hyattsville Walmart of $140,000 in cash.

The other two suspects, Jeffery Adams, 34, and Antonio Gaithers, 32, are in jail and awaiting trial on robbery and multiple firearms charges.
