‘Rapping Robber' Pleads Guilty in Montgomery County

A man known as the "rapping robber" has pleaded guilty in Montgomery County for setting up his ex-girlfriend to be robbed.

Prosecutors say 22-year-old Dominic Garrett posted a video of him rapping about the crime he was going to commit on the way to meet his ex-girlfriend. In the video, he waves a gun.

"In this era of phones and social media everywhere, 
sometimes criminals decide to brag or boast about their exploits and even do it beforehand," said Ramon Korionoff, spokesman for the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office.

According to court documents, Garrett told his ex to meet him at a McDonald's in Gaithersburg, Maryland. She thought she was meeting him to buy weed.

When she met up with Garrett, he got into her car and directed her to drive down a dead end street. He then took the keys out of the ignition so she couldn't go anywhere, documents say.

Garrett's friend then jumps in the care and forces the woman to lie across the seat. He steals her designer handbag, wallet and iPhone before hitting her in the head with a gun, according to the documents.

After Garrett and his accomplice fled, the woman used a neighbor's phone to call the police.

Prosecutors said Garrett is a member of a gang called the "Hit Squad."
