STRIDE RITE ROBBER PLEADS GUILTY

Christopher Miller, 41, entered a guilty plea yesterday (3/9) before Judge James M. Blaney, J.S.C. to Second Degree Robbery.  Pursuant to NJSA 2C:43-7.1, the defendant is subject to a mandatory extended term of imprisonment, making the sentencing range for his crime 10-20 years.  The Prosecution has recommended that Miller receive the maximum twenty (20) years – the No Early Release Act will apply. The defendant will be required to serve 85% of the sentence imposed by the Court. The defendant is to be sentenced on May 15, 2015.  He is currently incarcerated, serving a parole violation for committing this crime the day after he was released on parole supervision.

The guilty plea stems from his March, 22, 2014 arrest by Toms River Police Department for an armed robbery at a Toms River Stride Rite store.  The defendant was paroled on March 21, 2014, from New Jersey State Prison after serving a 15 year sentence for a November 1999 Armed Robbery of the same clerk at the Toms River Stride Rite store, as well as, two other Armed Robberies which occurred over a three (3) consecutive day period.  When he committed the most recent robbery on March 22, 2014 at the Stride Rite store, the clerk was able to identify him for police upon their arrival.  This same victim had recently been notified of the defendant’s release on parole supervision from the 1999 armed robbery.

Chief Trial Attorney Laura N. Pierro is responsible for the prosecution of Miller.
