The fourth and final individual involved in a 2012 robbery was sentenced in Bell Circuit Court on Monday. Whitney Brock, 19, of Pineville, was sentenced on an amended charge of first-degree facilitation to commit robbery. She was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary.
Demetrice Osborne, 29, of Evarts, Whitney Cain, 21, of Pineville, and Joshua Hubbard, 23, of Pineville, each pleaded guilty late last year.
Brock allegedly came to Smith’s residence and bummed a cigarette. A short time later, three individuals came into the residence and held down Smith and Margaret Inman, assaulted them and took Smith’s purse, according to the victims.
Trooper Tyson Lawson of the Kentucky State Police spotted the white car used in the robbery in the Wallsend community. He found Smith’s wallet along with money and credit cards in the vehicle, according to Lawson.
Lawson arrested Brock, Cain and Osborne at an apartment in Wallsend. After the investigation continued, it was discovered that the owner and driver of the getaway vehicle was Hubbard.
