An armed robbery in Norfolk that yielded $75 in cash resulted in a five-year sentence in prison.
On Friday, Quentin Lamont James, 38, was sentenced in Norfolk Circuit Court for the armed robbery of a West Ocean View 7-Eleven last year.
According to court records, on June 2, 2022, James and 29-year-old Laquisha Shante Nock were armed with a gun and with garden shears, respectively, and entered the 7-Eleven located at 124 Maple Street.
