How Many Years Can You Get for Federal Bank Robbery in Minneapolis?
Quick answer: The two selected Minneapolis federal bank-robbery prosecutions report Brady Anthony Johnson’s 156 months (13 years) and Donte McKinley Hollister’s 210 months (17½ years). This 156–210-month span covers two defendants and two allocated bank-robbery outcomes, not all city cases, an average or a prediction. Hollister’s armed offense and other admitted store robberies are disclosed separately; those incidents do not add independent prosecution clusters.

Observed range is not the statutory range
The observed range above comes only from the small selected public-reporting sample shown in the table. It is not a statutory minimum or maximum, average, typical result, prediction, plea estimate, or citywide distribution. The statute and sentencing rules applicable on the offense date, the exact count of conviction, criminal history, enhancements, and other case-specific facts control.
Sentence-scope rules
Only a prison term assigned to the target offense or target count is used in the numeric range. Unallocated multi-offense totals, multiple defendants in one prosecution, nonfinal matters, non-city conduct, life terms, probation-only outcomes, and noncomparable sentence types are excluded rather than estimated. Federal and state/local outcomes are never mixed.
Methodology and disclaimer
These DOJ announcements identify imposed count terms and offense locations in separate prosecutions. They do not establish exhaustion of every later remedy; wider later-docket review remains incomplete. Read the methodology, editorial standards, and the Minneapolis sentencing hub.
