DOTHAN, Ala. (AP) - A Dothan teenager who apologized for his
involvement in two Dothan armed robberies will spend five years in
prison for each offense.
Circuit Court Judge Brad Mendheim sentenced 18-year-old Karey
Godwin to serve 20 years in prison for each of the armed robberies.
But Mendheim suspended that sentence and ordered Godwin to serve
five years in prison for the charges.
Mendheim sentenced Godwin according to a plea agreement between
the Houston County District Attorney's Office and Godwin's
attorney, Ben Freeman. District Attorney Doug Valeska says Godwin
pleaded guilty to stealing a cell phone from a woman on Oct. 13.
Godwin also pleaded guilty to robbing a man.
Tevin Damario Williams and a 15-year-old boy were also charged
in the armed robberies.
