Bastrop, Tx–A Bastrop man was sentenced to 32 years in prison Monday for his role in a November 2008 convenience store armed robbery. Tyson Tarver, 29, drove the getaway car after two others held up the All-Star Convenience Store at Chestnut and Pecan on Nov. 26 that year, a Bastrop jury ruled last week.
Today the same jury sentenced Tarver to 32 years in prison, based in part on his prior arrest and conviction history dating back to 1998.
Edwin Williams, 29, pleaded guilty last week to his part in the heist in return for a 30-year prison term as part of an agreement with prosecutors. Another co-defendant in the case, Nathaniel Pellerin, 20, testified against Tarver last week, apparently under a separate plea agreement with prosecuting attirneys. Pellerin has not formally been tried or sentenced for his role in the case.
