Man sentenced to 10 years for robbing Bevil Oaks Dollar General

The four suspects are accused of taking advantage of the store's cameras being down and the low staffing after Harvey.

BEVIL OAKS, Texas — One of four men accused of robbing a Bevil Oaks store in February 2018 was sentenced to 10 years in prison for aggravated robbery. 

Christopher LeBron Henderson, 25, was sentenced for robbing the Dollar General in Bevil Oaks. 

The community was still dealing with the aftermath of Harvey, and prosecutors say the robbers took advantage of the store's cameras being down. They say staffing was also low when they held up the store. 

Police were led on a chase that ended in Sour Lake, where they took the suspects into custody.
