Tobyhanna task force revived

First Posted: 8/27/2014 HARRISBURG &#8212; A state appellate court has upheld a lengthy state prison sentence for a Philadelphia man convicted by a Luzerne County jury in robbing a strip club in Plymouth Township.
Kevin Williams, 32, was sentenced in July 2013 to 10 to 20 years in state prison after he was convicted of robbery, trespassing, theft, receiving stolen property and two counts of criminal conspiracy.
State police at Wyoming said Williams and William Gronosky, 31, of Nanticoke, entered the Carousel Lounge on state Route 11 on March 15, 2012, pointed guns at the club&#8217;s owner, Julius Greenberg, and left with cash and other items.
Greenberg told state police both men ordered him to the floor and he was struck in the head with a gun, according to court records.
Williams challenged the conviction claiming he was arrested based on a statement from the get-away driver, Courtney Sadusky, 25, and no forensic evidence linked him to the robbery. He also appealed the sentence arguing the sentence should have been imposed concurrently and not consecutively to each convicted count.
The state Superior Court dismissed Williams&#8217; claims saying his appeal lacked &#8220;substantial question&#8221; and reasoning.
Sadusky pleaded guilty to criminal conspiracy to commit robbery for her role as the get-away driver. She was sentenced in January 2013 to three years probation.
Gronosky was convicted by a county jury in September 2013 in the strip club robbery and was sentenced to 33 to 66 years in state prison. Gronosky&#8217;s sentence also involved a burglary at the home of state police trooper and firing shots at a pursuing state trooper during a pursuit.
