Armed Robbery Rocks Moriarty Fast Food Restaurant
An Albuquerque man has been sentenced to federal prison for his role in the armed robbery of a fast food restaurant in Moriarty, New Mexico.
Abraham Sedillo, 26, was sentenced to 51 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for his federal armed robbery conviction.
According to court records, on the night of September 12, 2011, Sedillo, who was armed with a revolver, and an unidentified co-conspirator, who was armed with a knife, entered the Blake’s Lotaburger Restaurant shortly before its 10:00 p.m. closing time.
The two robbers jumped over the counter, brandished their weapons at two employees, and demanded money. After the accomplice grabbed a container of money from the employees, the two robbers ran out of the restaurant.
The Moriarity Police Department was able to identify Sedillo due to his previous employment at the restaurant in fall and winter of 2010.
Sedillo was arrested in Albuquerque on September 13, 2011, based on a state arrest warrant obtained by the Moriarity Police Department.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Moriarity Police Department, the Albuquerque Police Department, and the District Attorney’s Office for the 7th Judicial District of the State of New Mexico.
Sedillo was transferred to federal custody on April 11, 2012, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Raul Torrez and William J. Pflugrath.
He was also ordered to make full restitution to the victim of the armed robbery.
U.S. Attorney Kenneth J. Gonzales, 7th Judicial District Attorney Clint Wellborn, and Thomas G. Atteberry, Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, announced Sedillo’s sentence.
