The offender pleaded guilty to robbery and using an imitation firearm after robbing a convenience store at night while armed with a BB gun.
The stolen cigarettes contained a GPS tracker, leading to his swift arrest.
The court weighed the offender's traumatic childhood and guilty plea against his lengthy criminal record, which included a prior penitentiary sentence for robbery.
The court imposed a total sentence of 32 months and 15 days in custody, consecutive to a sentence currently being served, after crediting pre-trial custody.
