Md. Man Gets 14 Years In Armed Robbery
BALTIMORE (AP) -- A Baltimore County man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison in the armed robbery of a rental store.
Forty-nine-year-old Richard Coleman of Dundalk was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Baltimore. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery in September.
Prosecutors say on Dec. 7, 2013, Coleman and another man held two store clerks at a Baltimore city rental store at gunpoint, forced them to open the register and took about $1,100. Prosecutors say Coleman and his accomplice then told the clerks to lie on the floor and threatened to kill them.
Baltimore police arrived while the robbery was still in progress and arrested Coleman and his accomplice, 52-year-old Arnold Dorsey of Baltimore.
Dorsey has pleaded guilty in the robbery and is set to be sentenced Tuesday.
