Five of the seven defendants indicted in the Feb. 1 daylight armed robbery of a Huber Heights AT&T store on Old Troy Pike are still awaiting trial.

Two teens, a 15- and a 16-year-old, have been sentenced in Montgomery County Juvenile Court to up to four years in juvenile prison, according to court records.

The other four then-juveniles and the lone 18-year-old, Caleb Johnson, are facing prosecution in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.

A customer inside the store described how the masked suspects struck fear into employees and other customers

“They told me to hit the floor or they were going to blow my head off,” said a Tipp City man who didn’t want his identify revealed. “They threatened to kill us all. All of them had weapons.”
