A Snohomish man was found guilty Wednesday of 16 felony charges connected to his role as a lookout in a home-invasion robbery Dec. 19 in Ridgefield. During the robbery, a victim was tied up and several firearms were stolen.
Jarrod A. Wiebe, 27, was charged in Clark County Superior Court with first-degree burglary, two counts of first-degree kidnapping, first-degree robbery, second-degree extortion, first-degree criminal impersonation, and 10 counts of firearm theft.
His three co-defendants in the robbery, including the ringleader, pleaded guilty Sept. 22 to some of the charges and received sentences ranging from 53 months to 14 years. Wiebe received a similar plea offer but chose to go to trial instead.
Juror Brenda Panage said the jury found him guilty on all counts because the law states that as an accomplice, he has liability for the crimes committed by his cohorts.
