Twenty-two-year-old Emmanuel Johnson has pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting 1st-degree robbery involving a dangerous weapon.

Johnson, who was arrested in Harvey, Illinois, and extradited back to Stearns County pleaded guilty Monday.

The other man, 22-year-old Grant Monaghan, was sentenced to three years in prison on the same charge.

Monaghan told police during a deal to sell a gun, Johnson robbed the victim of the money and shot him once in the chest.

The victim survived the shooting.
