A 27-year-old Wichita man, who admitted to being the getaway driver in four robberies, will spend the next 9.5 years in federal prison, according to the U.S. District Attorney’s Office District of Kansas.

On Wednesday, Shaiquille Harris was sentenced to roughly 9.5 years in prison for his role in the December 15, 2018, robberies of three Kwik Shop stores and a QuikTrip. Wichita police said the armed robberies occurred within an hour. The robbers made off with about $850 from the crimes, court records show.

Co-defendant Brelen VonFange, 28, of Wichita, is awaiting trial, according to a news release.
