Johnny Madison Williams Jr.

Williams put a great amount of forethought into each robbery. He would sometimes survey a target for weeks or years, planning out contingencies and escape routes. On several occasions, Williams took a shortcut through shrubbery and then concealed the passage behind foliage. He was described by a spokesman for the San Jose police department as "by far the most calculating and surgical bank robber in the past second half of the 20th century."

Carolyn Williams (Register Number: 26492-077) was released from prison on September 16, 2011, according to the United States Bureau of Prisons website.

Johnny Williams (Register Number: 24434-086) was serving his sentence at Victorville Medium II FCI (Victorville, California). His scheduled release date was December 14, 2072, according to the United States Bureau of Prisons website.

On Monday, January 10, 2021, Senior U.S. District Judge Thomas Zilly ordered Williams released after roughly 26 years imprisonment rather than risk his compromised health from exposure to COVID inside federal prisons, including Federal Detention Center-Lompoc (Calif.), to which Williams had been recently transferred.
