On June 7, 2007 Sean Smith was convicted as charged on two counts of Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon for an armed robbery that took place on June 5, 2006.  He was sentenced to between 15 and 19.5 years in prison. The cases against the other two other suspects in the case, Nathan Nance and Tamysha Johnson, are still pending final disposition.

On June 5, 2006 the three suspects robbed at gunpoint two victims of a vehicle and other personal property while the victims were talking in a parking lot off The Plaza.  Officers with the Street Crimes Division quickly located all three suspects inside the victim's vehicle on Harris Boulevard.  The victim positively identified the suspects and they were transported to Police Headquarters for questioning by Detective Rich Andringa.
