Thief Sentenced After Stealing 1 Dollar


Story out of Huntington, West Virginia:

A man who committed a $1 robbery was sentenced to spend at least six months to two years at the Anthony Center for youthful offenders after his 15-year prison sentence was suspended by Cabell Circuit Court Judge Chris Chiles.

John Bruce Chafin, 21, of Huntington, agreed to a Kennedy plea on a charge of first-degree robbery. He was originally charged with two counts of first-degree robbery and carrying a concealed weapon.

His arrest came after a Barboursville man told police a stranger approached him and another person at the corner of 4th Avenue and Hal Greer Boulevard, brandished a revolver and demanded the victim empty his wallet. That victim complied, but the wallet's contents yielded only $1, the records state.

Police confiscated the dollar bill, a jacket and a .38 special revolver as evidence, according to the police report. Cont.
