The defendant pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery and one count of assault causing bodily harm.
The robberies involved the use of an imitation firearm at two pharmacies on the same day.
The assault occurred months later when the defendant, under the influence of cocaine and fentanyl, assaulted his mother, causing her a concussion.
The court imposed a sentence of six years imprisonment for the robberies (concurrent) and six months imprisonment for the assault (consecutive), for a total of six and one-half years.
The court considered the defendant's prior robbery conviction, his substance abuse issues, his family support, and his guilty plea in determining the appropriate sentence.
