WICHITA, KAN. - A Wichita man was sentenced today to 71
months in federal prison for a robbery in which more than 75 cell phones were
stolen from a Sprint store, U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister said.
Xavier Lopez, 26, Wichita, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count
of robbery. In his plea, he admitted he served as a lookout while co-defendant
Camarin McPherson, 26, Wichita, Kan., robbed a Sprint store at 530 S. West St.
in Wichita. McPherson brandished a firearm and hog-tied a clerk with zip ties
before taking 54 Apple iPhones and 24 Samsung Galaxy phones with a total
estimated value of more than $60,000.
The robbers were arrested after a chase ended in a wreck at
Kellogg and Meridian.
McPherson was sentenced last month to 162 months in federal
prison. McAllister commended the Wichita Police Department, the FBI and
Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Treaster for their work on the case.
