One of the two men allegedly involved in a violent robbery of the Quill Lake bar in April of last year is going to jail for a substantial period of time.

26 year-old Delbert Nanaquetung appeared in Wadena court Thursday and was sentenced to eight years behind bars.

He originally was charged with ten offences including three charges of attempted murder. He pleaded guilty to robbery with a firearm, unauthorized possession of a weapon in a vehicle, two aggravated assault charges plus others.

He was also ordered to pay over $100,000 in restitution as well as he can't ever own a firearm.

On the night of April 22, 2015 two men entered the Quill Lake bar armed with a rifle and crow bar.

After shots were fired the men fled in a stolen vehicle which ended up crashing into a business in Watson where they were eventually arrested.

Co-accused 29 year-old Donovan Nanaquetung will appear in Wadena court March 24th.
