A Crestline man was sentenced to two years in prison for his role in the robbery of Freezer Fresh in Crestline.

Mikel J. Knetter II, 19, Crestline, admitted to his role in the crime while he was on probation from a 2014 burglary conviction.

Knetter was arrested along with Tristan Lucas and Kalib Utz for the robbery that occurred at the ice cream store on July 15. Authorities believe a 9mm handgun was used in the commission of the crime.

Since Knetter admitted his involvement in the crime which violated the terms of his probation, he was spared the maximum sentence of eight years for the aggravated robbery charge that was dismissed in exchange for his guilty plea.

Knetter will be granted credit for 200 days of jail time he has already served.

Lucas, 22, of Galion, pleaded guilty as part of a plea agreement in December and is scheduled for a sentencing hearing on Feb. 1.

A jury trial is scheduled for Utz, 20, of Mansfield, as he still faces one count of aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony. If convicted, he could be sentenced to a maximum sentence of 11 years in prison.
