Peach County woman sentenced to 25 years for aiding in 2024 robbery at Warner Robins hotel

PEACH COUNTY, Ga. — A Peach County woman was sentenced to 25 years after she helped commit an armed robbery at a Warner Robins hotel in 2024.

According to a release from the Macon Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office, on Tuesday, Aug. 4, Destiny Boatman, 28-years-old, was sentenced to 25 years, with the first 10 years in the Department of Corrections.

Back in September 2024, officers with the Warner Robins Police Department were dispatched to a home in Kathleen in reference to an armed robbery that had occurred at a hotel on Watson Blvd, the release said. The investigation revealed Boatman helped her co-defendant, Malik Grubbs, and two other men rob a male victim, who Boatman had lured to the hotel.

According to the release, prosecutors say that Boatman answered the hotel room door and let the victim in, at which point Grubbs and the other two men “ambushed him at gunpoint,” taking his cell phone, wallet, and firearm.

Surveillance footage from the hotel showed the three men forcing the victim out to his truck, where they searched for additional items of value. The men then got into a vehicle that Boatman was driving, leaving the victim in the parking lot.

Macon Judicial Circuit District Attorney Anita Howard stated that crimes involving armed violence will be met with “serious consequences.”

“Destiny Boatman used a vulnerable moment to set a trap,” Howard said. “She lured a man into a hotel room, let armed accomplices ambush him, and then drove the getaway car while he was left robbed, abandoned, and terrified in a parking lot. This was not a crime of opportunity. It was a calculated setup. Armed violence like this will be met with serious consequences. Her co-defendant, Malik Grubbs, will be tried separately at a later date.”
