A Las Vegas man was sentenced Tuesday to more than 14 years in federal prison for committing six armed robberies during summer 2013, the Department of Justice said.
According to the guilty plea memorandum, Herbert Johnson, 23, pleaded guilty in April to robbing three gas stations, a pizza store and two bars/restaurants in July and August 2013. He was sentenced to 14 years and three months in federal prison.
During five of the robberies, Johnson used a handgun to rob the store cashiers and a bartender. He served as a lookout during the other robbery.
Also according to the memorandum, Johnson’s accomplice for two of the robberies, Quincy Stephens, pleaded guilty and was sentenced in October 2014 to 151 months in prison.
Johnson has an extended criminal history, including a prior felony robbery conviction in Clark County. He also has a pending murder charge in Clark County.
The case was investigated by the FBI Safe Streets Task Force and Metro Police and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah E. Griswold.
