A Maine man pleaded guilty to robbery after throwing coffee in a convenience store clerk’s face and grabbing cash out of the register.
William Moholland, 56, pleaded guilty on Monday to robbing a Circle K on Main Street in Farmington in May 2023. The charges of theft by unauthorized taking or transfer and assault were dismissed, according to the Sun Journal.
Moholland will serve six months of a nine-year sentence, followed by four years of probation, according to the Sun Journal.
