A 22-year-old Centralia man has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of robbery in connection with an April incident in Foundation Park where $270 cash and a debit card were stolen from a 65-year-old Salem man.
Dylan Foutch, who formerly lived in Salem, was sentenced to three years in prison to be followed by one year of mandatory release. He had originally been charged with robbery of a person over the age of 60.
The time will be served concurrently with a seven-year prison term handed down to Foutch in August of last year after he was removed from Drug Court. The seven-year sentence was concurrent on two counts of possession of under five grams of methamphetamine and a petition to revoke his probation on a prior 2019 robbery conviction.
A co-defendant, 30-year-old Stacey Myers of Salem, still has a charge of unlawful possession of a debit or credit card pending in connection with the same incident in Foundation Park.
The robbery victim told Centralia Police after the incident he was given a ride by a man and woman to the Circle K store where he used the ATM to withdraw money to purchase a pack of cigarettes. He said he had given the two $20 for gas money before they drove to Foundation Park where a revolver was put to his head and the two demanded all his money. The victim said he didn’t think the two were serious until he was hit in the side of the head by the gun. At that point, he said he gave up the $270 and debit card.
