Jimari Baker was sentenced on Sept. 10 to three years in prison followed by five years of probation for an armed robbery Oct. 24, 2019, in the S-section of Palm Coast.
During the incident, Baker was in possession of a firearm and pointed it directly at the head of one of the juvenile victims. He originally concealed his identity during the robbery, which was captured on video, but Flagler County detectives were able to identify Baker as the suspect and arrested him a year later.
Baker's sister, Jimaya Baker, was involved the same incident in 2019 and has been involved in multiple high-profile incidents since then. In October 2018, she was arrested for her involvement in a shooting incident in Palm Coast that severely injured the victim. In September 2020, she was arrested in Volusia County for robbing an illegal gambling business.
“I’m glad to see him face consequences for his poor decisions,” Sheriff Rick Staly said of Jimari Baker. “I commend our detective team and prosecutors who put this dangerous criminal behind state prison bars and off the streets of Flagler County. Hopefully, prison will teach him to make better choices in the future and his sister will join him soon.”
Both Jimari Baker and Jimaya Baker are being held at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. Jimari Baker is awaiting transfer to the state correctional system. Jimaya Baker was arrested on Sept. 7, 2021, for Violation of Pretrial Release and is being held on no bond, with sentencing for her previous crimes scheduled for February 2022.
