On February 11, 2025, Dustin T. Perrin of Spokane was sentenced to eight years in federal prison for multiple bank robberies. United States District Judge Mary K. Dimke also ordered Perrin to serve three years of supervised release and pay $9,224 in restitution.

Court documents revealed that on October 13, 2023, Perrin robbed the First Interstate Bank in Spokane, disguised with a wig and hat. He handed a teller a note demanding money and left with $1,986 on a bike. DNA analysis linked him to the crime.

A month later, on November 17, 2023, Perrin targeted Numerica Credit Union in Spokane, stealing $5,238 after handing tellers bags for cash. Security footage later captured him at Wal-Mart with a large sum of money.

On January 22, 2024, Perrin robbed Washington Trust Bank in Spokane while wearing a blond wig and claiming he had a gun. He left with $2,000.

“For the people of Eastern Washington, their banks should be places of trust and security – not fear,” stated Acting U.S. Attorney Rich Barker. “Mr. Perrin’s repeated acts of intimidation and theft put innocent employees and community members at risk.”

“Today we...are holding Mr. Perrin responsible for stealing from three different federally insured financial institutions,” said W. Mike Herrington from the FBI Seattle field office.

Spokane County Sheriff John Nowels commented on the collaborative effort: “Today’s successful prosecution of Mr. Perrin is a testament to the strong partnership of our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners.”

The case was investigated by the FBI Spokane Regional Safe Streets Task Force and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nowles Heinrich.
