Crime

Charlotte man sentenced for his role in armed robberies

A Charlotte man has been sentenced to more than 16 years in prison for his role in a series of armed robberies more than two years ago in the University City area, authorities said.

Tommy Moses, 30, was convicted last week by a Mecklenburg County Superior Court jury on four counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon and two counts of attempted kidnapping, according to prosecutors. Before the trial, he entered a guilty plea to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Moses was sentenced to between 16 years nine months and 22 years 1 month in prison.

He was arrested by Charlotte-Mecklenburg police in August 2012 and charged in connection with two robberies near the Shoppes at University Place. Police said that in one case, a suspect drove two victims to a bank and forced them at gunpoint to use their debit cards to withdraw money from their accounts.
