KAUFMAN -- A 35-year-old Mesquite man has earned a 75-year prison sentence for his involvement in a 2008 robbery of a Forney fast food restaurant.

A jury handed down Ronald Willis Hollins’ sentence Wednesday in Judge Howard Tygrett’s 86th District Courtroom at the Kaufman County Courthouse in Kaufman. Along with accomplices Christopher Paul Edmondson, 35; Richmond Lorenzo Littlejohn, 33; and Dorian Douglas Worlds, 27; all of Dallas; Hollins was charged with armed robbery for his role in a May 28, 2008 incident at the Whataburger restaurant, located on U.S. Highway 80 in Forney.

The incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. as the suspects used what appeared to be a firearm to rob two female employees.

Using a description of the suspects’ vehicle, Forney police apprehended the suspects in Mesquite with the help of the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office following a 20-minute high speed chase that reached 110 mph at times.
