A St. Paul man will spend 17 years in prison for his role in two armed robberies in the Twin Cities area in 2020, including one that left a restaurant owner seriously injured from being shot.

Devon Glover, 23, was sentenced Monday in federal court. Following his prison sentence, he will also have to serve four years of supervised release, according to the United States Department of Justice, District of Minnesota.

Glover and his co-defendant, Marshawn Davison, were accused of robbing Penn Lake Roast Beef in Bloomington on June 16, 2020, according to court documents. The restaurant owner, Kevan Tran, was shot two times during the robbery by Glover, nearly killing him.

Glover was also charged and sentenced for another robbery a week later, on June 23, 2020, at a St. Paul liquor store. In that incident, court filings say he threatened people with a gun, assaulted an employee and stole cash from the register.

Glover pleaded guilty to two charges. Davison pleaded guilty to one charge and was sentenced in May to six years in prison and three years of supervised release.

Tran recovered and reopened Penn Lake Roast Beef a few months after being shot.
