On May 4, 2001, around 4 p.m. the Bank of America, 3509 I-40 East, Amarillo, Texas, a bank whose deposits were then insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, was robbed.

Two males, later identified as Charlie King Meza and Daniel Junior Golden entered the bank after being driven to the bank by the defendant MILO CRADALE WILLIAMS. Meza and Golden wore bandana's to cover their faces and Meza also carried a double barreled shotgun.

Customers were ordered to the floor and an elderly woman was knocked down by Meza when she tried to tell the robbers that she could not get down. Golden vaulted the counter and ordered the tellers to put the money in a black garbage bag.

Meza discharged the shotgun across the lobby and teller counter into the wall behind the teller stations. They exited the bank after stealing approximately $7,805.41.

After leaving the bank, Meza and Golden got into a vehicle driven by Marcus Samaniego. Later, they split up the money and defendant WILLIAMS received in excess of $1,000 of the money, which had been taken and carried
away, with intent to steal and purloin, from the care, custody, control, management, and possession of the Bank of America and at the time, the defendant MILO CRADALE WILLIAMS knew the money had been stolen from the bank. Golden and Samaniego were juveniles at the time of the bank robbery.
