A St. Joseph man who forced his way into a home and robbed the residents at gunpoint for their food-stamps card pleaded guilty this week.

Judge Kellogg followed the terms of a plea agreement and sentenced Johnson to three years in prison.

According to the Department of Corrections Web site, Johnson is already serving at least seven years. DOC lists prior crimes of assault, attempted drug trafficking, possession of a controlled substance and theft.
