A homeless man was sentenced to 14 years in prison for robbing University of Georgia students, the Athens-Banner Herald reported Wednesday.
Germil Deun Johnson, 21, who was living at a shelter when the crimes occurred in February, pleaded guilty to charges connected to three robberies and one attempted robbery and was sentenced Monday in Clarke County Superior Court, the report said.
He also must serve seven years' probation.
Johnson got cash from three students by threatening or bullying them. While trying to steal a cellphone from his fourth target, he tackled and punched her, the report said.
He was a registered sex offender on probation when the robberies happened.
