BALTIMORE MAN SENTENCED TO 18 YEARS

FOR ROBBERY AND GUN CHARGES

Baltimore, Maryland - David Glasscho, age 43, of Baltimore, was sentenced yesterday to 18 years in prison followed by 5 years of supervised release for interference with commerce by robbery and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.

According to the statement of facts presented to the court on February 22, 2006 at his guilty plea, Glasscho and co-defendant Robert Barclay Koch, age 62, of Baltimore, entered the Morrell Park Deli located at 2527 Washington Boulevard, Baltimore on February 20, 2005. Glasscho brandished a .38 SPL revolver at a deli employee at the cash register and demanded money. After Glasscho took money out of the cash register, he and Koch fled. Both were arrested after a brief chase.

Koch pled guilty to the same charges and is scheduled to be sentenced later this summer.

United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Baltimore City Police Department for their investigative work, and commended Assistant United States Attorney George L. Russell, III, who prosecuted the case.
