MADISON, Wis. A Madison man was sentenced Monday to seven years in prison for robbing a Williamson Street coffee shop last summer.
Federal court officials said 29-year-old Nathaniel Homestead pled guilty in February to robbing Ground Zero Coffee on July 19, 2020.
During the robbery, Homestead showed he had a handgun tucked in his waistband. An employee then handed over cash from the register before Homestead ran off.
Police arrested Homestead a few blocks away and found his handgun in a backpack at a beach not far away.
