Dumbest bank robber in history sentenced in the US

23-year-old Deron Lewis-P. from Omaha was sentenced to 121 months in prison (over 10 years) for robbing a bank in Nebraska in February 2026. He stormed in with a loaded pistol, threatened tellers, and took over $8,000. However, he left behind as many traces as an elephant in a flowerbed. The robber was unmasked — cameras captured his face from all angles. He wore bright red Nike sandals. His car was also caught on video: license plate, tool box, and rust. After the robbery, he went to a shopping mall and on camera bought new shoes and clothes with cash. Receipts became additional evidence. When police found him, he fled and dropped bundles of money along the way. Searches uncovered remaining cash, the car, and the same clothes with the red sandals. The cherry on top: he voluntarily allowed police to check his phone. Investigators found search queries about police response times, weapons, and even used ChatGPT to plan the robbery. Google Maps location history led straight to the bank. Result: $8,000, a few weeks of freedom, and over ten years in prison.
