SUPERIOR COURT
Repeat Offender Gets 35 Years
For Southport Armed Robbery
A Southport man with several pri
or convictions and jail terms was
sentenced to 35 years in prison
Wednesday after a Brunswick
County Superior Court jury found
him guilty of robbery with a firearm.
Rashccn Isiah Rashad, 24, also
known as Michael Todd Hill, was
charged in the Sept. 16 armed rob
bery of the Handy Hugo's gas sta
tion in Southport. He was accused of
removing S20() in cash from the
store while threatening the clerk
with a shotgun, court rccords show.
Three days later, Rashad was ap
prehended in Raleigh and returned to
Brunswick County, where on Dec. 12
he was indicted for armed robbery.
In April, Rashad was sent to
Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh
for evaluation of his competence to
stand trial after his court-appointed
attorney, Mark Lewis, told the court
that Rashad had "ceased entirely
communicating" with him. Rashad
was determined competent and tak
en back to Brunswick County.
Lewis later asked to be taken off
the case after Rashad "exhibited vio
lence in the Brunswick County Jail
and stated that, 'I'll kill my attor
ney,' (or words of like meaning),"
court rccords show. Attorney Steve
Yount was appointed to represent
Rashad.
After two days of testimony of
fered by Yount and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Lee Bollinger, the jury
took less than an hour to determine
Rashad'sguilL
In sentencing Rashad, Superior
Court Judge Joe Freeman Britt noted
the defendant's numerous prior pri
son terms as aggravating factors. He
found no mitigating evidence. In ad
dition to the 35- year jail term, Rashad
also was ordered to pay S417 res
titution and Si, 000 in attorney fees.
Yount noted an appeal of the ease
to the N.C. Court of Appeals. Judge
Britt refused to allow a bond for
Rashad.
