John R. Lujan, 18, has been sentenced to 365 days of confinement after pleading guilty in Clark County to second-degree robbery. Lujan accepted a plea deal in which he was also required to testify against accomplices and co-defendants Calvin J. Quichocho, 22, and Brandon English, 21. In exchange prosecutors dismissed charges of two counts of first-degree robbery, two counts of first-degree kidnapping and two counts of second-degree assault.
The judge also ordered Lujan to submit to a substance abuse evaluation and any treatment that may be recommended. He will be required to serve 12 months’ probation and is prohibited from having any contact with the victims for 10 years. Lujan has been in the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center for 323 days and is reportedly close to being out with reduced time for good behavior. Quichocho and English have each been found guilty by jury of two counts of first-degree robbery, two counts of first-degree kidnapping and two counts of second-degree assault.
Lujan and English arranged to meet Austin Bondy at his apartment, telling him they would buy marijuana from him. However, when they arrived they tied up Bondy and Brittany Horn at gunpoint and stole valuables from them. Lujan’s Vancouver defense attorney said that his client was involved in trying to obtain marijuana in the robbery, but he did not know a third party was being brought aboard or that a gun would be involved.
