ELKHART, Ind. — Two Elkhart men received nearly 40 years in prison each in connection to an armed robbery.
The robbery happened during the summer of 2012 in Elkhart.
Police say 20-year-old Jayzahn Creel and Earl Hogan held a woman hostage during the ordeal.
They say the men stole from her as her two young children watched in fear.
Police say they held a gun to her head and pulled the trigger but the weapon did not discharge.
Two other defendants in the case have pleaded guilty and are waiting to be sentenced.
