A Virginia Man Is Sentenced for Committing Armed Robbery at a Sprint Store
A man from Norfolk was sentenced for his involvement in an armed robbery at a Sprint store in Colonial Heights.
On January 7, 2019, Ronnell Kareen Levon Johnson, 28, and Tajh Rodgers, 32, of Norfolk traveled to the store from Norfolk.
According to court documents, Rodgers displayed a loaded .40 caliber Ruger semi-automatic pistol and forced two employees into a back room of the store and let Johnson in through the back entrance. Once Johnson entered the store, he gathered the merchandise into a bag.
Both men then held both employees hostage in the back room and attempted to tie up both victims while they completed the robbery.
