ST. LOUIS – U.S. District Judge Matthew T. Schelp on Thursday sentenced a man who robbed a St. Louis County, Missouri store at gunpoint to 84 months in prison.
Daniel D. Martin entered a dollar store on Midland Boulevard on Aug. 29, 2021, and threw a package of Skittles on the counter. As the cashier rang up the candy, Martin displayed a handgun and demanded money. He fled the store with $267.34.
Martin, 22, of Ferguson, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in St. Louis in February to one count of robbery and one count of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
The St. Louis County Police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tiffany Becker prosecuted the case.
