Married Couple Charged With More Than 20 Counts Of Robbery Each

GRESHAM, OR — A husband and wife robbery team on Thursday were officially charged in Multnomah County for more than a dozen robberies in Portland, Gresham, Wood Village, and Happy Valley.

Nigel Mikela Floyd, 38, and Stephanie Nichole Mitchell-Floyd, 39, are currently being held at Multnomah County Jail. Both are charged with 21 counts of felony robbery. Stephanie is also being held on a warrant related to identity theft and forgery charges she received in 2015.

The pair were scheduled to appear before a Multnomah County judge April 12.

According to the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office, the Floyds are suspected of at least 16 separate robberies in the metro region. In most cases, Nigel reportedly committed the actual robberies using a large kitchen knife while Stephanie acted as the getaway driver.

The robberies for which the Floyds are accused took place between Jan. 20 and April 11, the night they were finally apprehended.

After the string of robberies started to show a pattern, namely being the same types or even specific brands of stores, a multi-agency law enforcement team began conducting surveillance at similar stores in the same locations as the previous robberies.

On April 11, law enforcement officials were able to observe the Floyds carry out a robbery in the 7800-block of Northeast Glisan Street in real-time. As with the previous cases, Nigel wore a mask and carried out the actual robbery while Stephanie waited in their white minivan.
