FBI — Judge Gives Violent Robber a Long Prison Term

PHILADELPHIA—Amos Singleton, 58, of Philadelphia, was sentenced late yesterday to 30 years in prison for the armed robbery of an employee of the Walnut Lane Apartments at 236 West Walnut Lane in Philadelphia, in November 2010. Singleton and Corey Pasley, who worked at the apartment complex as a security guard, made off with cash, money orders, and checks, after Singleton struck the victim and fired his gun, striking the victim in the head. Despite severe injuries, the victim broke free, ran from the office, and alerted residents to the robbery. Singleton and Pasley stole approximately $2,645 in cash and $1,265 in money orders and checks from the office safe. U.S. District Court Judge Norma Shapiro also ordered restitution, a $2,500 fine, and five years of supervised release.
