Manhattan man sentenced in Monroe AT&T robbery case

On Wednesday, January 15, Isaiah Graham, 22, of Manhattan was sentenced in Orange County Court to five years in prison to be followed by three years of post-release supervision after pleading guilty to attempted robbery in the second degree, Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler announced. Graham’s three co-defendants were previously sentenced to the same terms.

According to Hoovler’s announcement, on February 28, 2023, Graham and three other masked men entered the AT&T store in the village of Monroe. While inside, Hoovler’s announcement said one of the men grabbed the clerk by the neck and pushed him into the back office. One of the men allegedly said that he was armed with a gun and held his hand in his jacket pocket. The men then allegedly stole various electronics from the store and fled. Officers eventually tracked the men to Mount Vernon in Westchester County where they were found with “the proceeds of the robbery.” At the plea proceedings, Graham admitted to attempting to forcibly steal property while aided by another person.

“This dangerous robbery was solved by the cooperative work of law enforcement across numerous jurisdictions,” said 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.”
