Men Receive 10-, 12-Year Sentences For Armed Robberies

SNOW HILL — Two suspects arrested last October for their roles in a pair of gunpoint robberies in Ocean City were convicted last week and sentenced to 10 and 12 years in prison, respectively.

Last week, Kevone Bunting, 19, of Georgetown, Del., pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery and was sentenced on both counts to 10 years in prison with all but five years suspended. Similarly, Adrian Matthews, 21, of Seaford, also pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery for his role in the incidents and was sentenced on both counts to 12 years in prison with all but six years suspended.

The Worcester County Circuit Court judge presiding over the case made the sentences for each count consecutive, meaning Bunting will serve the full 10 years, while Matthews will serve the full 12 years. Another defendant in the case, Kiya Connor, 20, of Salisbury, pleaded guilty in March to conspiracy to commit robbery and sentencing in her case has been set for June 7. Another suspect, Brittney Taylor, 20, of Salisbury, also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery and was sentenced to five years with all but nine months suspended.

All four should each have been charged with at least one count of felony stupid.

Northwest Woodsman: “Kevon?” Don’t tell me, let me guess! I’m thinking that eventually something drastic will happen as these issues are increasing in intensity all around the country. Is ir me or have you noticed a significant increase in racial problems since the Kenyan presidents two terms in office?

Why are the guys doing 5 years and the girls 9 months? Equality? I guess only when it works in ones favor.
