Violent McDonald’s Robber to Spend 15 Years in Prison

(September 15, 2011… Akron) … Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh announced today that Georgeo D. Jacobs, 21, of Akron was sentenced late yesterday by Judge Lynne Callahan to 15 years in prison for Aggravated Robbery, Felonious Assault and Burglary.

On April 24, 2011, Jacobs entered the McDonalds on West Market Street wearing a mask and demanded money at knife-point. When the manager ran to call 911, Jacobs cut her in the back with a butcher knife. He then chased a pregnant employee out of the restaurant and threatened to kill two male employees who followed him outside.

After leaving the restaurant without any money, Jacobs then broke into an apartment to get rid of his mask, sweatshirt and knife and hide from the police.

Jacobs pled guilty on August 3 to Aggravated Robbery, a first-degree felony; Felonious Assault, a second-degree felony; and Burglary, a third-degree felony.
