Man gets 40 months for robbing store in wolf mask

SALINA (AP) – A 21-year-old Salina man accused of robbing a former business while wearing a wolf mask and holding a meat cleaver has been sentenced to more than three years behind bars.

Joel K. Chenault was sentenced Monday in Saline County District Court to 40-months. He also was sentenced to six months for breaking another inmate’s jaw, to run concurrent with the other sentence.

He pleaded no contest in March to one count of robbery and two counts of aggravated assault.

Prosecutors say in addition to the meat cleaver, Chenault was holding a 2-by-2-inch board when he went into the Grind on Jan. 4, 2011, to rob it.
