According to TMZ Sports, the man that robbed Chargers safety Derwin James finally has a little justice. Kevin Mitchell a 23 year old man who rolled up to James and his Uncle on Sunset Blvd and robbed them at gunpoint has been sentenced to 9 years in State Prison.
James and his Uncle were reportedly eating at Bossa Nova Restaurant when Mitchell and another man held James at gunpoint stealing his Rolex watch and a gold chain.
After an investigation the police found that Mitchell tried selling the watch at a pawn shop in San Ferando Valley. The man was arrested after James picked him out the lineup, and Mitchell was charged with five felonies.
Today Mitchell copped a plea deal in which he was convicted on charges of felony robbery and felony criminal threats and the 3 other charges were dropped.
According to court documents … for the robbery charge, he was ordered to serve 9 YEARS in state prison as well as pay fines, fees and restitution.
As for the criminal threat charge — he was ordered to serve 3 years in prison for that crime, but the judge ruled that will be a concurrent sentence to the nine-year one.
At least justice was served, now find the other guy.
