Chief U.S. District Judge John M. Gerrard sentenced Anwar A. Hunt, 37, to 13 ˝ years in federal prison to be followed by 5 years of supervised release. Hunt previously entered pleas of guilty to interference with commerce by robbery and brandishing a firearm during that robbery.
On March 23, 2018, at approximately 1:14 p.m., two armed men with gloves and masks entered the Sartor Hamann Jewelry Store, located at 2900 Pine Lake Road, Lincoln, Nebraska, and demanded people in the store to not move and to be quiet.
