ALEXANDRIA, Va. – An Upper Marlboro, Maryland, man was sentenced today to 17 years in prison for committing five armed robberies across Northern Virginia and Maryland.
According to court documents, between January 24, 2021, and March 13, 2021, Jon Karl Mcree Fleet, 62, robbed a Macy’s Store in Springfield; a McDonald’s restaurant in Alexandria; a Subway restaurant in Largo, Maryland; a Papa John’s restaurant in Falls Church; and a Domino’s restaurant in McLean. During each robbery, Fleet brandished a firearm in the presence of employees and demanded money from them. Fleet used a short-barreled shotgun while committing the Domino’s robbery. At the time of the robberies, Fleet was a convicted felon, having previously been convicted for armed robberies, and was thus prohibited from possessing a firearm. Fleet’s lengthy and violent criminal history qualifies him as a “Career Offender.”
