Wando teens to be sentenced Tuesday
The sentencing for a group of Wando High School students arrested for their role in the armed robbery of a Mount Pleasant Food Lion store has been set for Tuesday at 9:30 a.m.
The eight youths earlier pleaded guilty for their role as lookouts in the August 2006 grocery store holdup. The charges include conspiracy to commit armed robbery and accessory after the fact. Possible punishments range from probation to some form of incarceration.
Two others received 10 years in prison for their lead role in the robbery and associated crime spree.
Charleston Circuit Judge Roger Young delayed the sentencings, originally scheduled for this week, to attend the funeral service for Circuit Judge James W. Johnson Jr., in Clinton.
The sentencings will be in the courtroom of Circuit Judge Roger Young at the Charleston County Judicial Center.
