BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A man who robbed a Papa Murphy’s Pizza in Bismarck and fled the scene in a taxi has been ordered to serve four years in prison.

Twenty-three-year-old Efrain Knowles recently pleaded guilty to felony robbery and terrorizing and was sentenced.

Authorities say Knowles robbed the business last Dec. 10, then called a taxi. Police tracked him through his cellphone and arrested him at his apartment after a SWAT team used a smoke bang device.
