A 22-year-old Spring Valley man was sentenced to 3 ½ years in state prison Wednesday for robbering the employee of a Spring Valley Marketplace store who was depositing money in a bank at the shopping center.
Forrest Fate Jr., of 4 Washington St., was sentenced by state Supreme Court Justice William A. Kelly in New City. In addition to the prison term, Fate was sentenced to three years of post-release supervision.
Fate pleaded guilty to robbery in the third degree. District Attorney Thomas P. Zugibe said Fate approached an employee of the Michael's store who was depositing money at the Wachovia bank branch at 10:50 a.m. on Aug. 19, 2009. Zugibe said Fox took money from the employee, causing the employee to fall to the ground and sustain an injury during the robbery.
