TOPEKA – A Kansas man was sentenced Wednesday to three years in federal prison for robbing a gas station, according to acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall.

Darrian Michael Stewart, 22, Topeka, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery. In his plea, he admitted that on June 20, 2014, he robbed a BP convenience store at 1401 S.W. Huntoon Avenue in Topeka. He entered the store about 8:23 p.m. before approaching the clerk at the counter with what appeared to be a black handgun and demanding money. He fled the store on foot. Later he was identified from surveillance video and arrested.

Beall commended the Topeka Police Department, the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Maag for their work on the case.
