2 Dallas Brothers Get Prison for Holdups, Wore Bulls Caps

Authorities said two Dallas brothers who wore Chicago Bulls caps while committing several armed robberies were sentenced to prison for dozens of years.

Dallas prosecutors said 27-year-old Cedric Ray Jones and 31-year-old Damien Antoine Jones in 2015 pleaded guilty to multiple counts related to robbery and weapons violations. The charges, filed following several business holdups in 2014, included interference with commerce by robbery.

Cedric Jones was sentenced to nearly 48 years in federal prison Wednesday. Damien Jones received a 59-year prison term.

Investigators dubbed the robbers the "Bulls Cap Bandits" because the suspects wore caps associated with the NBA team.

A third man awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to conspiracy and firearms counts.
