LIMA A Michigan man who pleaded guilty in October to robbing a convenience store at knifepoint and threatening a clerk by vowing to “gut you like a fish” was sentenced Thursday to four years in prison.
John Morici, 54, of Eastpoint, Michigan, pleaded guilty in October to robbing the Dairy Market convenience store on West Kibby Street in Lima on April 13. When he appeared Dec. 9 for sentencing, Morici asked for a new attorney and requested to be allowed to withdraw a previous plea of guilty to a first-degree felony charge of aggravated robbery and instead proceed to trial.
