Las Vegas man faces prison time after robberies

A Las Vegas man faces life imprisonment after his conviction in federal court Tuesday on charges related to a pair of armed robberies.

Soloman Tremain White, who has prior felony convictions in Clark County, was found guilty of two counts of interference with commerce by robbery; two counts of brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence; and three counts of prohibited person in possession of a firearm, according to a U.S. Department of Justice release.

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, White brandished a weapon and stole money from a store on April 18, 2025, and a sandwich shop the following day.

“Law-abiding citizens should never have to experience the terror of having a firearm pointed at them,” said Christopher S. Delzotto, the FBI Las Vegas field office’s special agent in charge, in the news release. “These armed robberies were bold and brazen, and we are fortunate they ended without injury before the suspect fled.”

White is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 11 by U.S. District Judge Cristina D. Silva. He faces a maximum statutory penalty of life imprisonment and a mandatory minimum sentence of 14 years’ confinement.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, FBI, and Metropolitan Police Department investigated the case.
