Former Florida A&M swimmers Douglas Cross and S-T Vaughn were sentenced for their part in a 2005 crime spree. The two, along with Gerald Raymond, a former Oklahoma basketball player robbed more than 50 hotels, check-cashing stores and other businesses throughout Florida and Georgia. The pair were sentenced to fifteen and eighteen years respectively. Raymond was sentenced to twenty-seven years.
Cross was the 2004 NEC Champion and conference record-holder in the 100 and 200 breaststrokes and played a role on the Rattlers' winning 200 and 400 freestyle relays. Vaughn finished second to Cross in the 100 breaststroke.
Parents begged the court for leniency on the Raleigh, NC natives, but it wasn't enough to overcome the testimony of victims. The three targeted businesses that employed just one or two female employees, employees whose statements, along withsurveillance video showing the violent nature of the robberies, sealed the pair's fate.
Just thought you would like to hear about my friend. He was known as the Gentleman Bank robber. He played waterpolo on our team and was a pretty good breststroke swimmer. Last summer I was in Hamilton Ontario I ran into his brother and he told me he has 9 more years to serve in prison.
It's always those breaststrokers trying to get more attention ... look at me I swim breaststroke ...
