A former Walgreens manager in Washington’s Chinatown neighborhood was sentenced Thursday to 32 months in prison for helping pull off seven inside-job robberies that turned her own store into a target over nine months. London Teeter, who was 22 and lived in D.C., will follow the prison term with three years of supervised release.
Teeter pleaded guilty in February 2025 to one count of conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce by robbery after prosecutors said she and three other people worked from July 2023 to February 2024 to feed information about cash transfers to the crew. Teeter, who was employed as the store manager, and Michael Robinson, 35, the second manager at the store, relayed details to Gianni Robinson, Michael Robinson’s nephew, who passed them to Kamanye Williams, 26. Williams then took money from the safe in the manager’s office at gunpoint. Prosecutors said Teeter knew the timing of the cash transfers and allowed a masked gunman to rob the store’s employees using a code she provided.
The scheme was not random. Teeter and Michael Robinson took turns being the victim of the robberies because they knew the crimes were being recorded on surveillance cameras, according to prosecutors. During the last robbery, Williams was shot by a special police officer hired by Walgreens to protect the business. Prosecutors said Teeter knew those officers were on duty and also knew that a co-conspirator had robbed one of them of a firearm.
The thefts netted about $29,000, a figure that helps explain why federal prosecutors pressed for a far steeper punishment. U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro said the sentencing guidelines called for 87-to-108 months and that her office had originally sought a 100-month prison sentence. Instead, Teeter received a 2-year and 8-month sentence, which Pirro called significantly lighter than what the conduct warranted. Michael Robinson was sentenced to 12 years behind bars in October 2025.
The case stands out because it was built on trust abused from inside the store, not on a break-in from outside. Prosecutors said the group used inside knowledge of cash movements, codes and security routines to stage armed robberies at a Walgreens in D.C.’s Chinatown neighborhood, with Teeter at the center of the operation. What happens next for the case is no longer in question: Teeter will serve her prison term, then remain under supervision for three more years.
