A Jackson man expected to face trial this past Monday for an armed robbery in Vicksburg instead pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Myron Sumlin, 24, 30 North Hill Parkway, Apt. A6, was one of three people accused in a March 17, 2007, armed robbery at Hair It Iz, 1614 Bodley St. The codefendants, 25-year-old William Green of Pearl and 21-year-old Virgil Woods of Ridgeland, were also expected to stand trial Monday, but instead pleaded guilty.

Warren County Circuit Judge Frank Vollor handed Sumlin the seven-year sentence based on a recommendation by the District Attorney’s Office. Assistant DA Dewey Arthur said Sumlin played a lesser role in the crime than Green and Woods. Sumlin was ordered to pay $312.50 in court costs and assessments.

Green and Woods will be sentenced at a later date.
