Man sentenced to 16 years for robbery

0

The second of two men arrested in the robbery of a Uniontown convenience store in October 2014 has been sentenced.

Dustin Lee Dunn, 21, of Seymour recently received a 16-year prison term after pleading guilty to a Level 3 armed robbery charge in Jackson Circuit Court.

Jackson Circuit Judge Richard W. Poynter also ordered Dunn to serve that prison sentence concurrently to the sentences he recently received in three other Jackson Circuit Court causes.

Dunn also will serve that sentence at the same time he is serving sentences imposed in two separate felony cases in Clark County along with one felony case each in Scott and Jennings counties.

Dalton R. Carver, 20, of New Washington received a four-year prison term after pleading guilty to the Level 5 felony charge of robbery in Jackson Circuit Court earlier this year. Poynter suspended 1,390 days of that sentence, placing Carver on supervised probation for those days.

Dunn and Carver were arrested in late 2014 in connection with an armed robbery of the Uniontown Marathon in Jackson County in October of that year.

Dunn had faced a kidnapping charge in connection with that robbery.

At the time, Officer Ben Rudolph with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department said police believed Carver accompanied Dunn during an armed robbery Oct. 13 at a Uniontown gas station.

Police said Dunn used a BB gun that looked like a real firearm and displayed the weapon to a clerk, demanding money from the register. Dunn was handed an undisclosed amount by the clerk, and he and Carver left.

The other sentences in Jackson County stem from Dunn’s decision to plead guilty to burglary in separate cases and auto theft in a fourth case. All were tied to a crime spree in late 2014.

The state agreed to dismiss two pending cases against Dunn as part of the plea deal. Dunn was ordered to pay a $500 public defender fee and received 597 days credit and 199 days good time credit for the time he spent in jail after his arrest.
