An American man has been ordered to spend time in a correctional facility for young adults after he was accused of participating in an armed robbery in which $1 was stolen.
The man, 21-year-old John Bruce Chafin of Huntington, West Virginia, agreed to a Kennedy plea on a first-degree robbery charge, which allowed him to plead without admitting guilt, the Herald-Dispatch reports.
Cabell Circuit Court Judge Chris Chiles sentenced Chafin to spend at least six months to two years at Anthony Center for youthful offenders after suspending his 15-year prison sentence.
Police and jail records show authorities arrested Chafin on Jan. 13 after they say he brandished a revolver at a Barboursville man, demanding the victim to empty his wallet, which contained $1. Police later confiscated the dollar bill, a jacket and a revolver as evidence.
