Defendant Sentenced in Jewelry Story Robbery

After pleading guilty for his participation in the 2022 smash-and-grab robbery of Luxury Jewels of Beverly Hills, Jimmy Lee Vernon III was sentenced to 80 months in federal prison last week and must also pay $2,674,600 in restitution fees. 

In a statement, United States Attorney Martin Estrada said, “This defendant took part in a blatant assault on a store operating in daylight hours, believing he could rob and intimidate others with impunity. Now, he will serve a lengthy sentence in federal prison. Our office and our law enforcement partners will not tolerate these sorts of brazen attacks on our community.”
