BARAGA, MI-- A Wisconsin man found guilty of armed robbery in Baraga County last year has been sentenced.
Bernard Fish, 47, of Shawano was given a minimum of 20 and a maximum of
40 years in prison with credit for 360 days already served Thursday. He was found guilty by a jury on two counts of armed robbery, two counts of extortion, one count of impersonating a police officer, and two counts of unlawful imprisonment.
The judge also heard from two officers from the Baraga County Jail. They said Fish fashioned a metal shiv while he was incarcerated. That persuaded the judge to sentence fish above the minimum requirements.
