Yasmin Charisse Millett, 22, of Oakland was sentenced today by Chief U.S. District Judge Troy L. Nunley to two years and four months in prison for bank robbery, Acting U.S. Attorney Michele Beckwith announced.
According to court documents, from June 2023 through September 2024, Millett and co‑conspirators committed at least 10 bank robberies across a string of California cities, including Sacramento, Vallejo, Suisun City, Benicia, Concord, and Antioch. As part of the conspiracy, Millett would recruit and instruct others to enter banks or credit unions with sunglasses, a purse, and a threatening demand note. Generally, the demand notes would instruct the bank employees to provide money or “I will kill everyone in here.”
On July 17, 2023, Millett and two co-conspirators used a stolen white Audi A7 with dark, tinted windows to commit a bank robbery at a credit union in Suisun City. Millett provided one of the co-conspirators with instructions on how to commit the robbery. Millett waited in the vehicle while the co-conspirator entered the bank and handed the threatening demand note to the credit union employee. The note demanded money and threatened to shoot the employee if the employee did not comply with the demand. After reading the note, the credit union employee handed over the money, and the co-conspirator returned to the waiting getaway vehicle. Millett and the co-conspirators each took a portion of the stolen money.
The next day, a law enforcement officer conducted a traffic stop of the stolen white Audi A7 that Millett was driving. The officer found bait money on Millett from the bank robbery that had occurred the previous day in Suisun City. The officer also found a crumpled demand note on the driver’s seat that stated, “Don’t Make eye contact Don’t look suspicious Don’t Push emergency Button Put smile on your face or I will shoot.”
Co-defendants Dontae Jones Jr., 20, residing in Northern California with no fixed address, and JoMya Mauriyne Futch, 21, of Richmond both pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery on April 17, 2025, and are scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 7, 2025.
This case is the product of an investigation by FBI field offices in San Francisco and Sacramento, with assistance from the Sacramento Police Department, Vacaville Police Department, Suisun City Police Department, Vallejo Police Department, Antioch Police Department, Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, Benicia Police Department, Concord Police Department, California Highway Patrol, Hayward Police Department, and Fremont Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Whitnee Goins is prosecuting the case.
