Man gets 3-15 years for armed robbery
ROBERTS
MUNISING — A Munising man was sentenced Friday to serve 3 to 15 years in prison for robbing a Munising Township grocery clerk at knifepoint in 2004.
Peter Gabriel Roberts, 21, pleaded guilty to armed robbery last month under a plea arrangement. He was initially scheduled for a three-day jury trial after rejecting a prior plea deal. Armed robbery is a crime punishable by up to life in prison.
Roberts robbed a clerk of $150 at the Hilltop Grocery on the evening of May 11, 2004. Roberts fled the store on foot. He went through the woods and was apprehended by police as he walked along Alger County Highway 58, a short time after the robbery.
