HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two of four charged in association with a robbery at knife point outside Walmart who entered pleas are scheduled for sentencing Friday.

Blake Bryant entered a plea to robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery while Ryan Reed entered a plea to the robbery charge only. Reed will be sentenced by Judge Trish Rose and Bryant will be sentenced by Judge Tim Chambers

A third suspect, Stephen Howard entered a plea to conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery. He’ll be sentenced on Dec. 2.

The three men were apparently drinking and smoking marijuana and decided they needed more cash for cigarettes. They went to Walmart and tried to break into vehicles, but then spotted some young men on the side of the store. That’s when two of them wrapped their shirts around their heads, pulled a knife and robbed the four of $85.

They were in a vehicle allegedly driven by Shelby Anderson. She was detained at the time, but not arrested with the other three. But, was taken into custody later. Her case is still pending.
