Cantonment Man Sentenced To 15 Years For Store Robbery

July 20, 2017

A Cantonment man has been sentenced to prison for the armed robbery of a Cantonment convenience store.

Jonathan Mark Vito was sentenced by Circuit Judge John Miller to 15 years in state prison as a habitual felony offender. He pleaded no contest to robbery.

On September 10, 2016 Vito entered the Tom Thumb on Highway 29 and Woodbury Court and displayed to the clerk what appeared to be a firearm and demanded money. He then fled the scene with the money, beer and cigarettes. He was later identified in the surveillance video by a previous co-worker and a relative.

Vito has prior convictions for trafficking in stolen property, pawnbroker transaction fraud, theft, fleeing and eluding, and several other misdemeanor charges.

    If we started hanging these career criminals rather than coddling them we might get a handle on crime in this country (which is way under reported).

    Vito is a career thug. Maybe this time he will not get out of prison.
