COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) - A Georgia teen is being sentenced to five years in prison for stealing a pair of Nike sneakers.
The Ledger-Enquirer reports that Dayonn Davis was sentenced this week for a robbery that took place when he was 15.
Prosecutor Sadhana Dailey says Davis and another male met the victim in January 2016 at a Columbus park. After Davis found the shoes fit, the other male pulled out a pistol and everyone ran.
When police caught Davis, he named the gunman, but the victim couldn't identify the gunman from photos.
Defense attorney Susan Henderson says Davis was charged as an adult despite lacking a juvenile record and says her client is "extremely remorseful."
Superior Court Judge Bobby Peters, though, says Davis took the shoes, and thus is due to be punished.
