A third man accused of aiding in the robbery of a Vineyard Haven bank in 2022 has agreed to plead guilty.

In a plea deal with federal prosecutors from earlier this month, Romane Clayton will plead guilty to bank robbery and aiding and abetting, potentially facing a penalty of up to 20 years of incarceration.

He is one of the four men who were indicted on charges related to the Nov. 17 robbery of the Rockland Trust bank on Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road.

Miquel Jones, Omar Johnson and Tevin Porter allegedly went to the bank and forced their way in at gunpoint. One of the three masked assailants then held a gun to a bank employee’s head, forcing them to open the bank’s vault.

The men took about $39,000, zip tied the bank employees hands and left all together in a bank employee’s car.

Prosecutors said that Mr. Clayton, who is from Jamaica, had been living with Mr. Jones in Oak Bluffs, and the three men who were at the bank met up with Mr. Clayton at their residence. Mr. Clayton and Mr. Porter then left the home and dropped their vehicle off at the Vineyard Haven Stop & Shop parking lot, according to court documents.

After burying the guns used in the robbery, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Jones retrieved the vehicle and Mr. Johnson took it on the ferry to Woods Hole. Mr. Jones then hid the money at Mr. Clayton’s home, and Mr. Johnson, Mr. Clayton and Mr. Porter all drove to New Hampshire.

Mr. Johnson and Mr. Porter already signed plea agreements with prosecutors, saying they would plead guilty to conspiracy to commit armed bank robbery and armed bank robbery.

Mr. Clayton and Mr. Jones were previously set to have an October trial in Boston federal court.

Mr. Clayton’s plea agreement was filed with the court on July 22. As part of the agreement, the U.S. Attorney’s Office recommended he be given a sentence at the low end of the federal guidelines.

Mr. Clayton is set to have a further court hearing on Sept. 4.
