Patrick Earl Fisher

MARQUETTE — Patrick Earl Fisher was sentenced Friday to a minimum of five years and a maximum of life in prison for an armed robbery that took place in June 2019 at Irontown Pasties in Negaunee, according to court officials.

Judge Roy Gothman handed down the sentence on Friday in 25th Circuit Court. Fisher was remanded to prison following the sentencing, officials said.

Fisher was found guilty in a Jan. 16 jury trial of the armed robbery charge, according to the court.

According to a previous Journal article, the Negaunee Police Department had reported Fisher entered the pasty shop, located near the intersection of U.S. 41 and Teal Lake Avenue, wearing a mask and carrying a handgun. Fisher then demanded money from the register from a lone female employee, who was unharmed, received $475 and fled on foot.

Fisher was taken into custody at an Ishpeming residence the following day.
