Description
The defendant appeals from the Vermilion county circuit court's imposition of a 10-year prison sentence following the defendant's conviction for armed robbery (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 38, par. 18-2). We vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing. The record shows that on November 29, 1984, the defendant appeared at a fast-food restaurant, covered his face with a nylon stocking, and ordered the restaurant manager to fill a paper sack with money. To ensure compliance with his commands, the defendant pointed a small-caliber automatic pistol at the manager and another employee. The defendant obtained approximately $160 from the restaurant and then fled. Danville police arrested him a few minutes later without resistance. The stolen money was found in the defendant's coat pocket. A search of the vehicle, to which the defendant consented, produced the handgun presumably used in the robbery. When found, the weapon had three rounds in the clip, but no round in the chamber. The defendant claimed he had found the weapon and did not know whether it was loaded when he committed the robbery.
