DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Two men who admitted committing the armed robbery of a Subway restaurant in Richardson last year, have been sentenced to lengthy federal prison terms.
Antonio Demond Douglas, 25, of Richardson, was sentenced to more than 10 years in federal prison.
A few weeks ago, co-defendant Allen Leon Pleasant, 26, of Dallas, was sentenced to serve nearly 10 years in federal prison.
Each pleaded guilty to one count of interference with commerce by robbery and one count of possessing, using and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
According to documents filed in the case, at approximately 7:00 p.m., on June 24, 2014, Douglas and Pleasant entered the Subway restaurant at 212 East Spring Valley Road in Richardson and pointed guns at a Subway employee and demanded money from the register.
The employee, in fear for his life, removed cash from the register and placed it in a plastic bag Douglas provided.
Douglas and Pleasant also robbed three customers inside the restaurant, taking personal items and money, and then took off.
They were caught after a police chase.
