ST. CHARLES • A man from Normandy has been given a 10-year prison term for robbing the Walmart store at 2897 Veterans Memorial Parkway in 2015.

Maliq Ale Shabazz, 23, of the 1900 block of Bermuda Drive, was sentenced last week by St. Charles County Circuit Judge Jon Cunningham after pleading guilty to felony robbery.

Court records said Shabazz and Michael A. Daniels, 29, were accused of taking $4,777 in bank bags from a shopping cart at the store.

Authorities said the bags had been placed in the cart by an employee transferring the money from cash registers as part of her duties.

A trial for Daniels, of the 10000 block of Jepson Drive in Bellefontaine Neighbors, is scheduled for May 30.
