A man was sentenced to 7 to 14 years in a state prison after pleading guilty to an armed robbery and stabbing at a Carlisle convenience store in May 2022.
The Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office reported this week that James Allen Brown Jr., 55, pleaded guilty Tuesday to aggravated assault and robbery. With the guilty plea, another aggravated assault charge, as well as misdemeanor charges of simple assault and possession of an instrument of crime, were dismissed. Cumberland County Judge Jessica Brewbaker issued the aggregate sentence of 7 to 14 years in a state correctional facility.
The charges were filed last year in connection with a May 5 robbery at Speedway on East High Street in Carlisle.
The DA’s office said Brown had entered the store around 6 a.m. with a large kitchen knife with the intent to “snatch some money and run.” Brown stabbed the clerk several times while the clerk attempted to wrestle the knife away, according to the DA. The clerk has since recovered from his wounds, the DA reported.
