COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A Coldwater man who was charged in connection with a robbery last September at the Coldwater Walmart store was ordered to serve between 19 months and 15 years in prison on Monday in Branch County Circuit Court.
As part of a plea agreement with prosecutors, 31-year-old Michael Tyler Ball entered a guilty plea to an amended charge of unarmed robbery.
The original charges of armed robbery of a business and possession of methamphetamine were dismissed by prosecutors in exchange for the guilty plea.
Ball was given credit for 273 days already served in jail.
The store’s video surveillance of the incident and an eyewitness description of the suspect led Coldwater Police to Ball’s apartment where he was arrested.
