RENO COUNTY — One of three teen suspects who entered pleas in association with a robbery at knifepoint outside Walmart in Hutchinson was sentenced Friday to two years and 10 months in prison.

Blake Bryant, 18, entered a plea to robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery and his attorney requested a non-prison sanction and in patient drug treatment.

Judge Tim Chambers decided on the safety of the community and due to the nature of the crime ordered Bryant to jail

Police say Bryant and the others were drinking and smoking marijuana and decided they needed more cash for cigarettes.

They allegedly went to Walmart and tried to break into vehicles, but then spotted a group of teens on the side of the store.

Two of the suspects wrapped their shirts around their heads, pulled a knife and robbed the four teens of $85.

Co-defendant Ryan Reed and Stephen Howard are scheduled for sentencing in December.
