One of two area men, charged with a Peoria armed robbery last year, was sentenced Friday to four years in prison. 21 year old Kevin Roderick, Junior pleaded guilty Friday to aggravated robbery. He and 23 year old John Finley of Lowpoint Washburn were each charged with a holdup last November at the Smoker's Outlet on North Prospect. Police say a gunman got away with an unknown amount of money. Authorities, acting on a tip, arrested both men a short time later and recovered a weapon. Finley awaits sentencing in June.
