WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - A Wilmington man who pleaded guilty to robbing a Burgaw convenience store in 2019 has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison.
Shaun Cedric Robinson, 22, was sentenced Wednesday to 100 months in prison for robbery affecting interstate commerce and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
A Wilmington man was sentenced Wednesday to more than eight years in prison for the 2019 robbery of a Burgaw convenience store.
Shaun Cedric Robinson, 22, and another man robbed the Scotchman gas station and convenience store in Burgaw on June 4, 2019, according to a press release from the United States Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of North Carolina.
The announcement was made Wednesday after Robinson was sentenced to 100 months in prison for affecting interstate commerce and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence by Chief U.S. District Judge Richard E. Myers II.
Once inside the Scotchman store, Robinson held the clerk at gunpoint while demanding money. The clerk opened the cash register and Robinson s co-defendant took out the money. He had driven Robinson to the store to carry out the robbery and was going to be the get away driver, according to the release.
During a phone call with a Pender County Sheriff s supervisor, the man said there were bodies lying in his home, according to the release. Further investigation found no evidence to support a break-in or that any other person was inside the house.
No one was injured during the incident, but the man is being taken to a medical facility for further evaluation.
Units from the Burgaw Police Department, Wilmington Police Department, Pender EMS and Fire and the N.C. State Highway Patrol assisted with the situation. I am proud of the men and women who responded to this emergency call and the way they handled this situation, Sheriff Alan W. Culter said in the release.
