A brother and sister from Rochester charged in connection with an assault on a worker at a Popeye’s restaurant have plead guilty.
Shayla Fulton and her brother Laquan Crimm both plead guilty to robbery, assault, and grand larceny.
They were accused of seriously injuring Ben Overmeyer from behind with a golfclub during a robbery at Popeye’s restaurant in Perinton in March. The 24-year-old lost an eye in the attack.
The prosecutors’ office wanted them to plead to the whole indictment and receive a sentence of 25 years in prison, but a compromise was reached. Gram and Fulton plead guilty to the whole indictment, and instead, Gram was promised 18 years in prison and Fulton was promised 11 years in prison.
The two are suppose to be sentenced on October 6, but News 10NBC’s Berkeley Brean has learned that Fulton could be sentenced at 11:30 this morning. Overmeyer and his family were court, and Berkeley is trying to talk to them.
