A 19-year-old Morrisdale man will spend up to four years in state prison for robbing a store employee.
According to GANT News, Michael Joseph Young is one of three men charged in the incident that occurred in October in Clearfield when the trio allegedly abducted a man and took him first to a bank and then to a national retailer in an effort to get money – money that, they claimed, he owed them.
Along the way the men reportedly hit the victim, put a rope around his neck, and threatened to cut him up and dump his body in the river.
Young plead guilty Monday to robbery, and terroristic threats among other related charges. He was sentenced to 24 months to four years in state prison.
The other two men, an 18-year-old of Wallaceton, who we won’t name due to his age, and 20-year-old Jonathan Paul Pennington Jr. of Madera, face similar charges and remain lodged in the county jail in lieu of bail.
