Media Kampung, Seattle – Michael Keylon Miller‑Jimerson, 26, was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison for a series of armed robberies that targeted marijuana dispensaries and banks between December 2021 and June 2022.
The Seattle man sentencing follows a violent crime spree in which Miller‑Jimerson served as the getaway driver and recruited juveniles to commit the thefts. He helped orchestrate robberies at Greenworks and Greenfire dispensaries in Seattle, Zips Dispensary in Tacoma, and Lucid Cannabis locations in Auburn and West Seattle. During the World of Weed robbery in Tacoma, a worker was shot and killed by one of the juvenile accomplices.
Federal prosecutors charged Miller‑Jimerson with armed bank robbery, robbery, and conspiracy to commit robbery. He pleaded guilty in February 2026, and U.S. District Judge Lauren King imposed the 17‑year sentence, emphasizing the need to protect the community from armed gang‑like activity.
Judge King noted, “You and others went on a violent crime spree, terrorizing the community for personal gain. The lengthy sentence is necessary to safeguard the public and deter similar conduct.”
The Seattle man sentencing underscores the Department of Justice’s commitment to prosecuting organized drug‑related violence and serves as a warning to those who exploit vulnerable businesses and involve minors in serious offenses.
