A North Huntingdon man will serve seven years on probation for his part in an armed robbery in December of 2020.
The Trib reports that 20-year-old Elijah Chaabane pleaded guilty in July to charges of robbery, conspiracy and weapons offenses related to the robbery where he and two other teens threatened a driver at gunpoint after they were taken to a home in Mt. Pleasant. The teens demanded money and clothing from the driver and others who were in the vehicle before fleeing into a house following their trip from North Huntingdon, according to court records.
Westmoreland County Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Mears imposed a minimum sentence that required Chaabane serve just less than a year in jail but paroled him Monday after applying credit for the 21 months he spent behind bars following his arrest. In addition to the probation, the judge also required Chaabane to perform 50 hours of community service.
