AKRON, Ohio -- A Cleveland man will spend four years in prison for stealing Sour Patch Kids candy at gunpoint from an Akron convenience store.

Garth Nation, 23, previously pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery with a gun in the Feb. 28 robbery. Summit County Common Pleas Judge Christine Croce sentenced him Tuesday.

Nation walked into the Family Dollar on Arlington Road, left and returned about 10 minutes later with a sawed-off shotgun.

Nation grabbed the candy and walked up to the register. Nation pulled out his sawed-off shotgun and demanded cash as the employee rang up the sale.

Nation poked the cashier in the chest with the shotgun and racked the gun because the 30-year-old cashier was moving too slow. Nation stole cash and fled.

The cashier was not injured.

The incident was caught on surveillance cameras, which led police to Nation.
