Isaiah Graham, Last of Four Co-Defendants to be Sentenced to 5Years in Prison
Orange County District Attorney David M. Hoovler announced that Isaiah Graham, 22, of Manhattan, was sentenced in Orange County Court to five (5) years in prison to be followed by three (3) years of post-release supervision relative to his previous guilty plea to Attempted Robbery in the Second Degree. Graham’s three (3) co-defendants were previously sentenced to the same terms.
As alleged in documents filed and statements made in court, on February 28, 2023, Graham and three other masked men entered the AT&T store in the Village of Monroe. While inside, one of the men grabbed the clerk by the neck and pushed him into the back office. One of the men said that he was armed with a gun and held his hand in his jacket pocket. The men then proceeded to steal various electronics from the store and fled. Law enforcement were able to track the men to the City of Mount Vernon in Westchester County where they were located with the proceeds of the robbery. At the plea proceedings, Graham admitted to attempting to forcibly steal property while aided by another actually present.
District Attorney Hoovler thanked the Monroe Police Department for their investigation and the arrest of the defendant. District Attorney Hoovler also thanked the City of Mount Vernon Police, the New York Police Department and the Westchester County Police for their assistance in apprehending the defendant.
“This dangerous robbery was solved by the cooperative work of law enforcement across numerous jurisdictions,” said District Attorney David M. Hoovler. “Through that careful investigation, each participant in the robbery has now been held accountable for their crimes. My Office, together will all of our law enforcement partners will not cease in our pursuit of perpetrators of violent felonies.”
The case is being prosecuted by Senior Assistant District Attorney Nicholas Mangold.
This criminal charge is merely an allegation that a defendant has committed a violation of the criminal law, and it is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial, during which it will be the State of New York’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
