Orlando, Florida – A federal jury has found Catrell Ivory
(27, Orlando) guilty of two robberies, an attempted robbery, and two counts of
brandishing a firearm during a robbery, in connection with a series of armed
Walmart robberies he committed in Orlando. Ivory faces a maximum penalty of
life in federal prison. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 24, 2019.
According to evidence presented at trial, shortly after
midnight on June 2, 2017, Ivory and his accomplices robbed the Walmart
Neighborhood Market located at 5559 Clarcona Ocoee Road in Orlando. The store
managers were held at gunpoint and more than $74,000 was stolen from the vault
inside the cash office. On July 31, 2017, at approximately 3:00 a.m., Ivory and
his accomplices robbed another Walmart Market located at 2715 S. Orange Avenue
in Orlando. They held a store manager at gunpoint and stole more than $24,000
from the cash office. On August 10, 2017, Ivory and his accomplices attempted
to rob a third Walmart Market located at 8801 Conroy Windermere Road in
Orlando, but they were unable to get into the cash office.
During each incident, Ivory and his accomplices carried and
brandished firearms and wore masks and gloves to conceal their identities.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the Osceola County Sheriff’s
Office, and the Orlando Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant
