KANSAS CITY, KAN. - A Missouri man was sentenced Monday to
100 months in federal prison for a robbery and shooting at a McDonald’s
restaurant in Leawood, Kan., U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said. The sentenced is
to be served consecutively to a 60-month sentence previously imposed in a case
in federal court in the Western District of Missouri.
Nicholas Martell McGinnie, 26, Kansas City, Mo., pleaded
guilty to one count of robbery. In his plea he admitted that on Dec. 1, 2012,
he went to a McDonald’s at 4600 W. 119th Street in Leawood to rob the
restaurant. He hid in a men’s restroom and waited about half an hour for the
restaurant to close. Then he confronted the store manager with a pointed
handgun and demanded money. The store manager resisted and attempted to push
him out a door of the restaurant. During the struggle, McGinnie fired his gun,
striking the manager in the legs. The store manager was treated for gunshot
wounds and recovered.
McGinnie was arrested Jan. 3, 2013, after police recovered
his fingerprints from the scene of the shooting.
Grissom commended the Leawood Police Department, the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Assistant U.S. Attorney Mike
Warner for their work on the case.
