According to the Greene County Prosecutor's Office, Anthony Lewis, 29, of Detroit, was found guilty following a robbery back in August.

Prosecutors say on August 20, Lewis allegedly confronted a victim in their car in a parking lot at Wilberforce University and began yelling at them.

Prosecutors say Lewis opened the driver's side car door and kicked the driver while they were trying to drive away.

The victim was able to drive a short distance but was not able to escape, and Lewis allegedly punched the victim multiple times in their face.

Lewis then allegedly took the victim's phone and sweatshirt.

Surveillance video was used to identify Lewis and arrest him on a Robbery charge.

Lewis was found guilty on November 10 after a two-day jury trial in the Greene County Court of Common Pleas.

Lewis is now facing up to twelve years in prison and a $15,000.00 fine.
