WHITE PLAINS – A Mount Vernon man was sentenced in federal court in White Plains on Friday to eight years in federal prison for four separate armed carjackings of taxicabs in Mount Vernon and the Bronx in November 2018.
Samir Sullivan, 33, also known as “S,” pled guilty in January 2019 before US District Judge Cathy Seibel, who imposed the sentence.
“Four hardworking cab drivers were simply doing their jobs when Samir Sullivan terrified them by pointing a gun at their heads,” said US Attorney Geoffrey Berman. “After threatening to shoot all four drivers and hitting one with his gun, Sullivan took their cabs, as well as their cash, wallets, and phones.”
