A man involved in a robbery, in which the victim was struck with a bicycle lock, was sentenced Wednesday to more than 2½ years in prison.
Kevin McCarter, 50, pleaded guilty in Clark County Superior Court to first-degree attempted robbery in connection with the Sept. 29 incident. He initially faced that charge and second-degree assault. However, the assault charge was dismissed, as well as a deadly weapon enhancement on the attempted robbery charge, in exchange for his guilty plea.
A co-defendant in the case, Dorothy Sayers, 26, also was sentenced earlier this month to 45 days in jail. A second co-defendant, Stephanie Boehning, 24, is awaiting trial.
Sayers recruited Boehning to lure a 53-year-old victim to the 100 block of Southeast Columbia Way, where McCarter was waiting for them, according to a probable cause affidavit. McCarter was accused of repeatedly hitting the victim in the head with a bicycle lock while demanding money.
