Hines has pleaded not guilty to one count of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.

The Jury found Hines guilty of the charges Tuesday and sentenced him Wednesday to 10 years of probation . He was facing a maximum sentenced of up to life in prison on the charge.

No injuries were reported as a result of the incident in June 2009 in the 1300 block of Hunt Street.
