(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man has been sentenced to charges related to the “pistol-whipping” and robbery of a man inside a Leavenworth apartment early this year.
22-year-old Antonio Nelson was sentenced last week, in Leavenworth County District Court, on individual counts of aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary.
According to a release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, Nelson, who pled guilty last month, has been sentenced to serve 4-years-11-months in prison.
According to court documents cited in the release, Nelson went to the victim- apartment on January 3 of this year, and approximately 30 minutes after arriving, told the victim he was thirsty. When the victim returned with a glass of water, Nelson and a man wearing a ski mask were waiting for him. Nelson hit the victim with a gun and continued “pistol-whipping” him. Eventually, Nelson grabbed a rope, placed it around the victim's neck, and tightened it until the victim lost consciousness.
When the victim regained consciousness, he discovered multiple guns had been taken from his apartment.
