A Cooper County jury has found a Sedalia man guilty of first-degree robbery in the theft of cash from the former Movie Gallery.
Johnny L. Allen, 50, was accused of threatening to use a gun when he robbed the Movie Gallery, 2921 W. Broadway Blvd., Dec. 24, 2006, said Prosecuting Attorney Jeff Mittelhauser. The jury deliberated for about an hour before returning its verdict Thursday in Cooper County Circuit Court.
