Pa. teen gets up to 12 years in prison for armed robbery

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania teenager who police say robbed two boys at gunpoint outside a barbershop has been sentenced to up to 12 years in prison.

LNP reports 17-year-old Jimmy Pierre pleaded guilty Tuesday to felony robbery and illegal possession of a firearm in exchange for a 5 1/2 to 12-year prison sentence.

The Lancaster teen was charged as an adult because a deadly weapon was displayed.

Police said Pierre pointed a gun at a 15-year-old and 16-year-old after they got haircuts at a barbershop in March.

Police said another man acted as the getaway driver.
