Assault, robbery during drug deal lands Troy man in prison for 5 years

TROY - A Troy man convicted of assaulting another man in a robbery during a drug deal was sentenced Monday, July 10, to five years in prison.

Judge Jeannine Pratt told Cale Pence, 20, he was "incredibly lucky" the victim didn't die from a head injury sustained in the March 29 incident in a parking lot off Imperial Court in Troy. Police said a Troy man suffered a head injury during the attempt to steal drugs and was taken by Careflight to Miami Valley Hospital for treatment.
