Serial robber pleads guilty after 6 armed robberies, 1 attempted robbery: Commonwealth's attorney
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – A 19-year-old pleaded guilty to charges of six armed robberies, one attempted robbery between early December and late January May 7, according to the Commonwealth attorney's office.
The man charged, Jeovany Rodriquez, committed four of the incidents between Jan. 15-20, says the Commonwealth.
Rodriquez was eventually caught as on Jan. 24, he robbed a cashier at a Subway on East Little Creek Road. The Commonwealth's office says Rodriquez showed his air rifle at the cashier and then attempted to flee the scene, where officers saw him.
Police then chased Rodriquez, where he threw his rifle out the car. Officers then secured Rodriquez and the gun, and later connected him to the string of robberies, according to the Commonwealth's attorney.
Rodriquez agreed to plead guilty to six counts of armed robbery and one count of attempting to commit armed robbery on May 7 for dismissal of additional charges and to waive his rights to a preliminary hearing and indictment before a jury.
'Mr. Rodriquez put himself and his victims in extremely dangerous situations, ones where a reasonable person would fear getting shot and killed and where either the victims or a bystander could have tried to defend themselves, risking injury or death,' said Commonwealth's Attorney Ramin Fatehi.
With the plea agreement, Rodriquez will face up to 14 years in prison, which is left up to the discretion of the judge. His sentencing hearing is set for June 30.
