The 19-year-old accused was sentenced for a pharmacy robbery, masking, possession of a stolen vehicle, carjacking, and dangerous driving following a police pursuit.
The court found the carjacking and dangerous driving were motivated by a desire to escape apprehension for the pharmacy robbery, warranting consecutive sentences.
After considering the accused's youth, guilty pleas, and particularly harsh presentence custody conditions during the pandemic, the court imposed a total sentence of four years, reduced to five months and 24 days after applying enhanced credit for presentence custody.
