Tyler James Martinez, 35, of Green Bay, Wisconsin, has been sentenced in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska for two counts of bank robbery. The sentencing took place on February 11, 2026. United States District Court Judge Brian C. Buescher gave Martinez a sentence of 96 months in prison for each count, with the terms to be served at the same time. However, the judge ordered that this sentence will be served after Martinez completes a separate sentence he is currently serving in Wisconsin, making his total prison term 192 months. Federal prisoners are not eligible for parole. After completing his prison term, Martinez will be subject to three years of supervised release.
According to court records, on March 11, 2022, Martinez entered Centris Federal Credit Union at 343 North 114th Street in Omaha and presented a note to a teller demanding money. The note read: “This is a hold up. No GPS. No dye. Don’t make a scene. Give me the money. Stay quiet. Don’t sound the alarm. Don’t get the manager.” The teller provided him with $1,000 and Martinez left after saying “Have a nice day.” The credit union was insured by the National Credit Union Administration.
Four days later, on March 15, 2022, Martinez robbed Mabrey Bank at 2525 E. 21st Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma using another note that stated: “No Alarm’s. Give me All the money in the till/Drawer. I want $2,500 or Better. No Dye packs. No GPS. Do not look at anyone. Stay calm. Give me my money now!! You can hit Alarm after I leave.” He received $2,500 from this robbery before leaving the bank premises; Mabrey Bank was insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
