Frank pointed a handgun at the female clerk and demanded money and liquor.

Police caught up with the pair several hours later in Rutland and found a handgun in the truck they were driving.

Last August, Frank was sentenced to five years in prison for his part in the robbery, the mandatory minimum for a robbery involving a firearm.

On Thursday, a judge also sentenced Stocker to a five year term.
