LOS ANGELES (KNX 1070) — The so-called “Gray Hooded Bandit” has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for a series of liquor and convenience store robberies.

Jose Cuellar was arrested last February and pleaded no contest to eight felony counts of second-degree robbery, KNX 1070’s Brian Ping reports.

Nineteen other felony counts against Cuellar were dropped in exchange for his plea.
