 Strong armed robber gets 18 months after plea from Johnston Mayor web posted March 5, 2008 EDGEFIELD – A Johnston man accused in a strong-armed robbery of a Johnston couple in a local convenience store parking lot last May had his day in court Tuesday. Henry Lamond Rhodes, 27, was arrested after being identified from video surveillance cameras that captured him committing the robbery. Mr. Rhodes was charged for following an older gentleman out of a Johnston store after cashing a $400 check and then robbing him in the parking lot. Rhodes was seen opening the door as the couple sat inside of their car and reaching over the man to take the money before fleeing the area. Rhosed was later located and arrested. Mr. Rhodes plead guilty to the charge in front of Circuit Judge James W. Johnson Jr. who proceeded to sentence Rhodes to six years in prison and then suspended the sentence to 18 months. Johnston Mayor Willie Campbell spoke on behalf of Mr. Rhodes before the sentencing pleading for leniency. Mr. Rhodes, who has been held in the Edgefield County Detention Center since his May 15, 2007 arrest, has already served ten months of his sentence and will be released in just over four months. Johnston Mayor Campbell was a foster parent to Mr. Rhodes. ©
