A months-later arrest has put a new face on the Clinton armored-truck robbery that left a Brink’s driver wounded and more than $500,000 in cash stolen outside a bank on Woodyard Road.

Prince George’s County police identified the suspect as 31-year-old Jerronta Bryant of Capitol Heights and said he was taken into custody June 17 in Washington, D.C. Bryant was charged with armed robbery and related offenses, and police said the arrest was made with help from the U.S. Marshals Service Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force.

The robbery happened Nov. 3, 2025, in the 8800 block of Woodyard Road, outside the Navy Federal Credit Union at 8819 Woodyard Road. Police said the incident unfolded just before 8:30 a.m., when multiple suspects approached the BRINKS driver as he prepared to deliver cash. Later reports said four armed suspects were involved, and surveillance video captured two of them getting out of a vehicle and moving toward the truck with firearms.

The driver was injured in the robbery. Later reporting described the injuries as minor, but the attack underscored that the case was more than a theft of cash: it was a violent ambush on a worker carrying out a routine commercial delivery in a busy Clinton corridor.

Police said the suspects fled in a car after taking more than $500,000. A firearm was recovered during Bryant’s arrest, though investigators have not said whether it was the same weapon used in the robbery. Bryant remained in custody in Washington, D.C., while awaiting extradition to Prince George’s County.

The arrest does not close the case. County police said the investigation remains active and that additional suspects are still being sought, a sign that detectives believe more than one person took part in the robbery. Prince George’s County Crime Solvers says tips that lead to an arrest and indictment may qualify for a reward of up to $2,500, and police continue to ask for information as they work to identify the rest of the crew.
