Rensselaer County resident William Camino, of Troy, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in Rensselaer County Court on Wednesday, Aug. 28, a month after pleading guilty to first-degree robbery.
According to prosecutors, Camino and two others – Katrina Carroll, age 24, and Terry Adams, age 18, both of Troy – used the dating app Tinder to lure a man into an alleyway near Congress and Cypress streets in Troy at around 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 18.
The victim, thinking he was meeting with just Carroll, was instead met by Camino and Adams, who pulled guns and demanded his phone and wallet, prosecutors said.
The victim complied and the culprits fled on foot. Nobody was injured.
Carroll pleaded guilty to robbery in July and will serve five years in prison with five years of post-release supervision.
Adams is being held at the Rensselaer County jail awaiting trial.
