Downtown Robber Gets Year in Jail

A San Mateo County Superior Court judge on Friday sentenced a 23-year-old man who held up two downtown stores to a year in county jail, the district attorney's office said.

Anthony Tyrone Redwood, 23, in January after being caught on surveillance video robbing two liquor stores with a fake gun in separate Aug. 15 and 18 incidents. Witnesses told police Redwood wore a mask and brandished a weapon, although authorities later determined the gun wasn't real.

Judge Craig Parsons also gave Redwood, a convicted felon, three years probation following his incarceration.
