A knife wielding robber who terrorized a clerk at South Charleston video slots parlor is going to prison.
Daniel Lunsford had plead guilty to robbery charges earlier. He was caught on security video waving a knife in a woman's face and roughing her and another female victim up as he held up Sassy's.
Lunsford was calm, apologetic and remorseful in court--a sharp contradiction to his actions the day of the robbery. The judge rejected his request for home confinement and sentenced him to ten years in prison.
