PENSACOLA, Fl. (THECOUNT) — Pensacola, Florida man, Robert Spellman, who stole $600 worth of cigarettes from a convenience store, has been sentenced to staggering 20 years in state prison.
A jury in Pensacola convicted Spellman, 48, of burglary and grand theft in August. Authorities say Spellman took 10 cartons of cigarettes from a stock room in the store manager’s office last December. He was sentenced Friday.
The Pensacola News Journal reports that Spellman had 14 felony and 31 misdemeanor convictions prior to the cigarette theft, which qualified him as a habitual felony offender. That led to the lengthy 20-year prison sentence imposed Friday by an Escambia County judge. source
