The ringleader of a crew of masked men who robbed a Martha’s Vineyard bank will spend a decade behind bars for a robbery that netted $39,100 — split four ways.

U.S. District Court Judge William G. Young sentenced Miquel Anthonio Jones, 33, of Edgartown, to 10 years in federal prison to be followed by three years of supervised release for his leadership role in the Nov. 17, 2022, armed robbery of the Rockland Trust bank branch in Vineyard Haven.

Jones’ fellow robbers, Omar Odion Johnson, of Canterbury, N.H.; Romane Andre Clayton, of Jamaica; and Tevin Porter, of Bridgeport, Conn.; have each pleaded guilty for their own roles in the robbery and are scheduled for sentencing on separate dates next month.

“This case highlights some of the most old-fashioned, blatant and terrifying criminal behavior we face: armed bank robbery. Miquel Antonio Jones orchestrated and led a calculated and violent robbery that terrorized bank employees and the surrounding community,” Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Joshua Levy said following Jones’ sentencing. “His conduct left lasting emotional scars, and today, he is paying a significant price for his actions.”

Jones was the only Martha’s Vineyard resident in the crew so, prosecutors say, he decided which bank to rob, planned the heist and collected the tools of the trade: dark-colored clothing, zip-ties, duct tape and a terrifying disguise: “plastic masks that resembled an elderly man with exaggerated facial features.”

The three men met up at Jones’ Edgartown residence the day before the heist and slept there. Early the next morning, they set out to the bank, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office, where Jones, Johnson and Porter hid in nearby bushes and Clayton drove the getaway car to a nearby state forest before bicycling back to the bank.

“As the bank’s three employees arrived that morning, Jones, Johnson and Porter — wearing the plastic masks and displaying two handguns — approached them and forced their way through the rear door,” a spokesperson for Levy’s office wrote in a statement following sentencing.

They then forced at gunpoint one of the employees to open the vault, from which the robbers took $39,100. They then bound the employees with duct tape and zip-ties and demanded access to one of their vehicles, according to prosecutors.

They used that car to get back to their own vehicle in the Manuel Correllus State Forest and fled the scene. The plastic masks and other things were burned at a local farm associated with Jones’ landscaping job, where the robbers also buried the two handguns used in the heist.
