District Attorney Collin Sims reports that on July 2, 2025, 50-year-old Herbert Davis of Slidell pled guilty to armed robbery with a firearm and was sentenced by Judge Vincent Lobello to 45 years in prison without benefit of parole. Assistant District Attorneys Tiffany Dover and Shelby Stoop prosecuted the case. Detective Kyle Taylor with the Slidell Police Department led the investigation.

Shortly before noon on November 2, 2023, a man, later determined to be Herbert Davis, entered a bank on Gause Blvd in Slidell. Wearing a black baseball cap and a black face mask to conceal his identity, Davis approached a teller and pointed a semi-automatic handgun at him. While throwing a drawstring bag toward the teller, Davis demanded the teller fill it with money. The teller quietly placed approximately $6,000 into the bag and returned the bag to Davis. Davis then fled the bank on foot.
