Jaylin Wiggins, 20, also known as "Youngest" was sentenced to five years in prison after he plead guilty to one count of 2nd degree Criminal Possession of a Weapon.

The sentence comes after an incident from February 2016. Police say an armed robbery took place on Heath Street in the City of Buffalo. The victim's carm along with cash and a cell phone, were stolen.

An hour after that, the vehicle was found abandoned in the Central Park Neighborhood.
