Starkville Man Convicted on Robbery Charge
STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) — An Oktibbeha County Circuit Court jury needed just an hour to find a Starkville man guilty of robbery.
The jury found 27-year-old Joe Mitchell Gillespie guilty Tuesday morning.
Prosecutors are getting together paperwork on his prior convictions before sentencing.
Gillespie could get as much as 40 years as a habitual offender.
The jury found Gillespie guilty of snatching a wallet after asking for money while the victim sat in a car in the parking lot of a Highway 12 business in October 2013.
