SALEM, Mass. (AP) - A Massachusetts man has been sentenced to up to 2 ½ years in prison for three robberies, including one in which he swung a robotic vacuum at a security guard.
The Salem News reports 43-year-old David Nardella pleaded guilty Wednesday to armed robbery and multiple counts of larceny in Salem Superior Court. A judge sentenced Nardella to two to 2 ½ years in prison.
Prosecutors say Nardella stole two North Face jackets from a TJ Maxx in Salem and two Samsung robotic robots from a Salem Target in the span of a week. Prosecutors say Nardella returned to the same Target, took two more robotic vacuums and swung one at a security guard by its security cord when he was apprehended.
Nardella has also pleaded guilty to similar charges from other thefts in different counties.
