3 Sentenced For Armed Robberies With Dozens Of Cell Phones Stolen, Assaults Of Victims

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Three people have been sentenced in federal court for armed robberies in Woodbridge and the Alexandria area.

The armed robberies happened on July 5, 2024 and July 25, 2024 at two stores with Alexandria addresses in Fairfax County and August 13, 2024 at a Woodbridge store. The defendants, Javon Rustin Louis Paige, 38, Vincent Henry Kirkland Jr., (also known as Daniel Eugene Robinson), 31, and Brianna Mamie Oceolia Archie, 27, were arrested in December 2024.

On March 11, Archie pleaded guilty to one count of Hobbs Act robbery and was five years and ten months in prison on June 17.

On March 11, Kirkland pleaded guilty to two counts of using, carrying, and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence and was sentenced to 14 years in prison on July 14.

On April 29, Paige pleaded guilty to two counts of using, carrying, and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence and was sentenced Thursday to 16 years in prison.

An FBI agent's affidavit revealed that the July 25, 2024 robbery happened at the Boost Mobile store at 6531 Little River Turnpike in the Lincolnia neighborhood in Fairfax County. Prosecutors say Paige robbed the store with Kirkland, who he met in prison. Court documents say two suspects stole items from three victims, as well as about 41 cell phones and $5,000 from Boost Mobile. Paige pointed a handgun at an employee and customer during the robbery, ordering them to the ground and the back of the store.

Surveillance footage showed the suspects stomp their feet on the back of an employee's head while he was lying on the ground. Police believe a suspect struck the store manager with the butt of the gun. Before the suspects left, they pepper sprayed the victims in the face.

On August 13, 2024, Archie, 27, drove Paige and Kirkland to Geeks Zone, a store that sells and repairs electronic products at 15060 Cardinal Drive in Woodbridge. Prosecutors say Paige and Kirkland entered the store armed with handguns and ordered the owner and an intern to the ground. The suspects demanded money and asked the victims to open the cash register. Paige and Kirkland struck both victims in the head with the guns before fleeing the store with cash and merchandise. Archie drove them back to a Dumfries hotel where Paige was staying.

According to the affidavit, the defendants stole 46 electronic devices, a mix of cellular phones, tablets, iPads, and PlayStations, and about $2,000. One victim reported his wallet was stolen, and the other said cash from his wallet was stolen.

About one hour after the Woodbridge robbery, stolen phones were sold at an EcoATM located inside a Walmart at 5885 Kingstowne Boulevard in Kingstowne. Court documents say Kirkland and Archie were selling the cell phones. The affidavit indicates that Archie sold phones at different times at the same EcoATM inside Walmart as well as a Safeway Grocery store at 6118 Arlington Boulevard in Falls Church.

The affidavit did not mention where the July 5, 2024 robbery at an Alexandria address was located.
