Two Fort Lewis Soldiers Sentenced For Robbery

SEATTLE, Washington—A King County Superior Court judge has sentenced two Fort Lewis soldiers accused of robbing University of Washington students.  Pvt. Robert Earl Lucas, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., was sentenced Friday by Judge John Erlick to three years and four months in prison. Pfc. Chad Alan Braden, of Etna, Ohio, was sentenced to two years, 10 months. They had pleaded guilty earlier to one count each of first-degree robbery.
   
Each had originally been charged with two counts of first-degree robbery with a firearm stemming from two January attacks near the university’s fraternity row. A third Fort Lewis soldier charged in one of the incidents, Pfc. Raymond R. Burrows III, of Central Falls, R.I., faces trial next month.
