Fairmont men enter pleas in armed robbery

FAIRMONT, W.Va. — Three men who pleaded guilty to robbery from one year ago in Fairmont are headed to prison.

Police arrested Wallace Anthony Booth Jr., Stephen James Brewington and Cory Joseph Richardson after an armed robbery at a Green Street home April 15, 2014.

The men entered the home with guns and demanded money, drugs and other valuables. Fairmont police identified the men as suspects and discovered marijuana, two loaded handguns and valuables from the victim upon executing a search warrant on a seized vehicle.

All three pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery with presentation of a firearm and conspiracy to commit a felony.

In court Wednesday, Brewington was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Richardson was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Booth will be sentenced at a later date.
