SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A Sioux City teenager has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a failed robbery.
The Sioux City Journal (https://bit.ly/1IIV8q1 ) reports the 17-year-old pleaded guilty in March to assault while participating in a felony and second-degree burglary. He must serve a mandatory minimum of five years in prison before he’s eligible for parole.
According to court documents, the 17-year-old and two others entered a Sioux City house. The documents say one of the suspects brandished a gun to try and steal drugs from a drug dealer, but was overpowered by the home’s occupants and held until police arrived.
The 17-year-old and another other suspect fled and were arrested later.
The two other people involved, both of Sioux City, were sentenced to 10 years in prison each.
