MARION COUNTY — An 18-year-old Salem teen was sentenced Thursday in Marion County Court to 7-years in prison after he pleaded guilty to the lesser of four charges accusing him and two others with the alleged September 2019 armed robbery of a man in Sandoval.
Cameron Corrie had been charged with three Class X felonies for home invasion with a firearm, home invasion causing injury, and armed robbery, along with Class 1 felony residential burglary.
Corrie pleaded guilty Thursday to the residential burglary in exchange for the other three charges being dismissed.
Co-defendant, 18-year-old Gavin Mays, also of Salem, pleaded guilty to the same charge Thursday, in exchange for the Class X charges being dismissed. Mays was sentenced to four years probation, ordered to complete drug and alcohol treatment, and was given credit for 106 days served in county jail.
A third defendant, 18-year-old James Planitz, of Odin, is scheduled for a January 22 pretrial on the same charges.
The three were arrested in September for beating and robbing a male victim at a home in the 300 block of Oklahoma in Sandoval. The victim reportedly had gone to the location to sell someone an X-box.
He reported that when he arrived at the residence three males beat him and took the X-box he was selling, along with $2,000 cash from his wallet. He reported that at least two of the subjects were armed with guns.
