A Flint man already on probation for retail fraud is now facing a life-felony bank robbery charge in Oakland County.
According to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office, 32-year-old Jacquan Coreyonteliace Burks-Burnett entered the Fifth Third Bank branch in Troy on October 21 wearing a mask, gloves, and yellow glasses before demanding money from two tellers.
Investigators say the suspect walked to the Somerset Mall parking lot, where his vehicle, reportedly missing a license plate, had been left. Flock camera footage was used to identify and locate both the car and the suspect.
“Bank robberies are traumatizing and dangerous experiences for both tellers and customers,” said Prosecutor Karen McDonald. “Law enforcement worked quickly to locate this defendant and he will be held accountable.”
Burks-Burnett has been charged with Bank Robbery, a felony punishable by any term of years up to life in prison.
According to MDOC records obtained by MDCR, Burks-Burnett is currently on probation in Genesee County for two separate Retail Fraud, First Degree cases, both sentenced on November 18, 2024, with supervision running through May 2026.
Records also show prior prison terms for Unarmed Robbery, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, and Felony Firearm, all tied to Genesee County convictions from 2014. He was discharged from those sentences in 2019.
All charges are accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
