California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the felony conviction of Sirron Croskey for multiple crimes, including armed robbery, reckless evading, and possession of a loaded firearm in public. Croskey committed several robberies across Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, and Napa counties. His method involved targeting victims in casino parking lots while wielding a loaded, unregistered firearm.

Following his final robbery in Napa County, Croskey attempted to evade law enforcement by engaging in a high-speed chase with deputies from the Contra Costa Sheriff's Office. He eventually abandoned both the vehicle and the firearm used in the robberies and fled on foot.

“Californians deserve to live their lives free from the shadow of violence,” said Attorney General Bonta. “I am immensely proud of my team for their unwavering commitment to justice and for ensuring that those who violate the law are held responsible. When we work together, we get results that create a safer and more secure California for everyone.”

Croskey pled guilty to one felony count of reckless evading, one felony count of carrying a loaded unregistered firearm in public, two felony counts of second-degree robbery, and admitted two enhancements for personal use of a firearm. On October 23, 2024, he was sentenced in Contra Costa Superior Court to nine years and eight months in state prison. Additionally, he was ordered to pay restitution amounting to $9,855 to seven different victims.

The investigation was conducted by the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Office along with several other police departments including American Canyon Police Department, Livermore Police Department, San Jose Police Department as well as the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Gambling Control. The DOJ’s Special Prosecution Section handled Croskey's prosecution.

The DOJ’s Special Prosecution Section is responsible for investigating and prosecuting complex criminal cases occurring in California such as fraud, public corruption, underground economy crimes, human and labor trafficking, fentanyl trafficking, and organized retail theft.
