Story City, Polk County, Iowa. Robbery in the First Degree charge was amended following discovery depositions to two misdemeanor violations with an agreement for probation. Robbery 1st is a Class B forcible felony, which means if the defendant is convicted a judge is required to send them to prison for a term not to exceed 25 years. Robbery 1st also carries with it the 70% requirement, meaning that a person is not eligible for parole until 70% of their sentence is served. Thankfully, discovery revealed that the required elements to prove Robbery did not exist and a plea agreement was reached to misdemeanor violations and probation.
