An undocumented migrant from El Salvador will now spend eight years behind bars.

Jesus Antonio Menendez-Flores was sentenced after pleading guilty to robbing a Halfmoon convenience store on Route 9.

On November 11, 2023, Menendez-Flores walked into Mi Mexico Lindo Tienda claiming he had a gun, and demanded money.

Customers quickly jumped in and shoved him against the wall.

It turns out he did not have a weapon on him.

He pleaded guilty back in July.
