A North Carolina man was sentenced to seven years in prison Thursday after a robbery in January 2017.
Jared Cooke, 24, of Charlotte, N.C., was sentenced to seven years in prison for using a firearm during a crime of violence, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Cooke robbed a home on Forest Avenue in Morgantown in January 2017, according to the Morgantown Police Department.
