A Cherokee County man has been sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to three counts of Attempted Aggravated Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon.
63-year-old Charles Amos was sentenced to 16 years in prison today for the incident in June of 2023.
Cherokee County officials say Amos was caught siphoning fuel from a stolen van in rural Cherokee County. When confronted by a stolen farm truck owner, Amos fired a shotgun toward the owner and the owner's family before fleeing.
A manhunt was conducted, with Amos captured later that evening in Oklahoma City.
