SUFFOLK COUNTY, N.Y. – Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney announced today that Jvon Creighton, 27, of Mastic, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty in September 2022 for his role in multiple gunpoint robberies that occurred throughout Suffolk County in 2021
. Creighton and his co-defendant, Marcus Brown, 34, of Coram, targeted gas stations and convenience stores in a string of robberies that took place between October and December 2021.
District Attorney Tierney stated that the defendants “terrorized hard-working small business owners, robbing them of their money at gunpoint.” He added, “These were vicious robberies; one victim needed 25 sutures to close facial wounds following a pistol whipping. Such gratuitous violence will not be tolerated in Suffolk County.” Brown was previously sentenced to 10 years in prison as well.
The defendants pleaded guilty to robberies at six different locations, including multiple 7-Eleven stores and a BP gas station. They were apprehended after an extensive investigation by local authorities.
