NASSAU- A man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for armed robbery.
Akeem Jackson, 25, is allegedly a leader of the Jamaica-based Clansman gang.
Jackson, who is also known as Bobo Sparks, held up a woman immediately after she collected an asue draw of almost $16,000 from a salon in the Palmdale area.
Police witnessed the June 4, 2018 holdup and chased Jackson, who opened fire on them in an attempt to escape.
Jackson, who is in the country illegally, was shot four times before his arrest. They found a gun and the stolen money on him.
Jackson pleaded guilty to armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
He was sentenced to 10 years in prison on each charge but the sentences will be served at the same time.
Jackson, who was named as the most wanted man in the St. Catherine North Police Division in Jamaica in 2016, will be deported once he completes his sentence.
