“Cracker” Convicted

An accused robber convicted and sentenced to 16 years in jail today. 31 year old Albert Middleton, known as Cracker was found guilty of two counts of robbery. He was sentenced to eight years for each count and will serve out the full 16 years because Senior Magistrate Sharon Fraser stipulated that the sentences are to run consecutively. The case occurred on September 9, 2009 at Miami Grocery on 48 Euphrates Avenue when Middleton allegedly put a gun to the cashier's head. He stole a ring, a cell phone, and $400.00 dollars from the cash register. After the prosecution closed its case, Middleton did not say anything in his defense. Middleton has a number of previous convictions one of them for theft.
