Husband and wife receive prison sentences for committing nearly two dozen knifepoint robberies

Today, Multnomah County District Attorney Rod Underhill announced that 40-year-old Nigel Floyd received a 20 year prison sentence and that his wife 40-year-old Stephanie Floyd received a 16 year prison sentence for their involvement in a series of knifepoint robberies that occurred in Portland, Gresham, Wood Village, and Happy Valley.

Nigel Floyd pleaded guilty to nine counts of robbery in the first degree and one count of attempted robbery in the first degree. Stephanie Floyd pleaded guilty to six counts of robbery in the first degree. These crimes occurred between January 20, 2018 and April 11, 2018.

"This resolution takes into account Mr. Floyd's lack of criminal record but captures the scope of his behavior and the trauma it caused the victims in both Multnomah County and Clackamas County. Rarely in our experience as prosecutors do we see someone who has no criminal record commit more than 20 robberies impacting almost 30 people. The state wants to make sure that Mr. Floyd is prepared to come back into the community without the same drug addiction that fueled this behavior,” said Multnomah County Senior Deputy District Attorney David Hannon, who prosecuted this case. “Ms. Floyd showed immediate responsibility upon her arrest and came forward and confessed to other robberies that were previously unknown to detectives. Like her husband, we believe her actions were fueled by addiction.”

Detectives from the Gresham Police Department, Portland Police Bureau, Milwaukie Police Department, Multnomah County Sheriff's Office and the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office worked collaboratively to conduct surveillance around local stores similar to the locations that had been previously robbed. The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office assisted law enforcement in preparing an arrest warrant, search warrant and court orders for GPS data and cell phone tower data.

On April 11, 2018, a law enforcement surveillance team observed Nigel Floyd and Stephanie Floyd in the 7800-block of Northeast Glisan Street. Both were associated with a white mini-van. Law enforcement observed Nigel Floyd exit the mini-van and put on a mask. Shortly thereafter, Nigel Floyd robbed the business. Law enforcement watched as he exited the business and got back into the mini-van.

Stephanie Floyd was the getaway driver in a majority of the robberies while her husband was the person who entered the businesses to commit the robberies.
