D.C. Man Sentenced to 12 Years in Prison for Robbing GameStop

October 18, 2011

The U.S. Attorney's office announced that a 29-year-old man from Washington D.C. has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for his part in an armed robbery of an Oxen Hill, Maryland GameStop. Terrence Terrell Conner was sentenced on Monday for "obstructing commerce by robbery" and "using a firearm during a violent crime." Conner pled guilty to all charges for a lighter sentence.

The 12 year stretch in prison is the result of a December 23, 2008 robbery. Conner acknowledged in court that on that date he and two other accomplices entered the GameStop store in Oxen Hill, Maryland brandishing handguns and demanding money. One of the men fired a gun into the floor before Conner and company fled the scene with more than $7,400. Police later recovered one of Conner's shoes from the scene as well as his fingerprints from one of the stolen consoles.

james_fudge: EZK it will depend on your provider, just like HBO Go i'd imagine.05/21/2013 - 2:05pm
PHX Corp: @IanC there's also a chance that those titles might be Xbox one exclusive, but it's too early to tell afaik05/21/2013 - 2:03pm
IanC: @E. Zachary Knight - MS certainly got the checkbook out for EA, so no surprise on how negative they are over the Wii U.05/21/2013 - 1:54pm
MaskedPixelante: So now I have to wonder, how many of EA's games are skipping the PS4 because of their pro-used stance?05/21/2013 - 1:53pm
E. Zachary Knight: On the TV front, does the XBox One require a cable/satellite subscription or will I be able to use my over the air channels?05/21/2013 - 1:48pm
E. Zachary Knight: Also, that name was not one of the options on our poll.05/21/2013 - 1:42pm
E. Zachary Knight: This presentation also shows why EA has been so negative about the Wii U. They have had a massive hardon for the XBox One forever.05/21/2013 - 1:42pm

E. Zachary Knight: Quote: Are developers forced to create games that have these online features, and are thus not playable offline? They are not, Xbox exec Whitten said to Wired — but “I hope they do.”05/21/2013 - 1:40pm
E. Zachary Knight: The Wired article I linked to earlier has a different story. While it will be possible to play offline, that is a game to game thing, not standard. http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/05/xbox-one-analysis/05/21/2013 - 1:39pm
Andrew Eisen: According to Geoff Keighley, Don Mattrick says Xbox One is not always on. https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/33690727595023155305/21/2013 - 1:35pm
Andrew Eisen: Just like how Sim City needs the cloud for various computations. (Note to anyone unaware: Sim City does not need the cloud for various computations. That was a barefaced lie by EA Maxis.)05/21/2013 - 1:24pm
MaskedPixelante: So all in all, more of the same, with the possibility of used game restrictions and always on DRM disguised as "cloud computing".05/21/2013 - 1:20pm
Andrew Eisen: Absolutly zero gameplay footage. Doesn't look like there are going to be a lot of games ready to launch by the end of the year.05/21/2013 - 1:12pm
E. Zachary Knight: They didn't talk about any of the other exclusives. I guess they are saving that for E3.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
E. Zachary Knight: quicknoid, They have 15 exclusives coming in the first year with 8 of them being original franchises. I think Ghosts is at least a timed exclusive.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
MaskedPixelante: Maybe they could stick some facial recognition software on the new Kinect to keep 12 year olds off of Xbox Live. That'd be nice.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
ddrfr33k: I'm still not holding my breath05/21/2013 - 1:04pm
ddrfr33k: Hmm...If Ghosts has as much emphasis on the story as they say they do, they might be able to turn the series around...05/21/2013 - 1:04pm
quiknkold: The Halo TV Show is the only thing that impressed me.05/21/2013 - 1:03pm
