One of two men accused of a violent, armed robbery last June was sentenced Friday to serve nearly 10 years in prison.

Deshane Keonte Rayton, 21, pleaded no contest to a single felony count of aggravated burglary on April 6.

Rayton initially faced charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery and criminal possession of a firearm, said Cheryl Wright-Kunard, assistant to the Douglas County District Attorney. The robbery, kidnapping and firearm charges were all dropped as a part of his plea agreement, which “involved several cases,” she said.

On Friday, Douglas County District Court Judge Peggy Kittel sentenced Rayton to serve a total of 114 months in prison and to pay $2,115.92 in restitution.

Alex Caprice Sanders, 19, the man police say also took part in the robbery, still faces felony charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary and aggravated robbery.

Early in the morning of June 30, police responded to an apartment in the 2400 block of Alabama Street for a report of a robbery, according to arrest affidavits for both Rayton and Sanders.

The two men entered the apartment at gunpoint, and Rayton hit the woman in the head with the weapon, the victim testified during a preliminary hearing in January. The men stole marijuana, liquid phencyclidine, or PCP, drug paraphernalia, around $1,700 worth of electronics and a black duffel bag worth around $20.

During the incident, the woman’s children — one 7 months old, the other 3 years old — were sleeping in the apartment, she said. Neither of the children were injured.

The two men shut the woman in her bathroom and left through her back door, she said. Sanders was arrested in Topeka on Dec. 3 while Rayton had already been in Douglas County Jail for the past five months, related to a failure to comply with court orders.

A jury trial for Sanders is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. May 4. He is currently held in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $200,000 bond.
