Dunbar Man Sentenced

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Arron Dewayne Walker, 28, of Dunbar, was arrested last October for robbing 76 year old James Walker of South Charleston. Monday, Arron Walker was sentenced. Arron was convicted of first-degree robbery, which carries a mandatory one to 15 year indeterminate sentence. Arron has spent 242 days in jail, which will be counted as part of his total time served. A parole board will determine how much time Arron continues to serve after he has served a year. Police say he tied James Walker to a chair and robbed him at knifepoint, taking several items, including a wallet containing credit cards and $300 cash, about $5,000 worth of jewelry and prescription Valium pills. Arron and James are not biologically related, but they do know one another.
