S.T. Vaughn pleaded guilty to robbery with a firearm and was sentenced to 12 years in state prison, Sequoyah County District Attorney Jerry Moore announced Wednesday.
Vaughn has been a fugitive from justice since June 2005 after he held a gun at a clerk and stole an undisclosed amount of money from the Super 8 Motel in Sallisaw.
Vaughn was later apprehended and was also sentenced to federal prison in Georgia on other crimes.
“Violent offenders will be dealt with harshly in Sequoyah County,” Kyle Waters, assistant district attorney, said.
