Janae Haleem, 20, was given two years of intensive supervised probation at the Work Ethic Camp in McCook for being an accessory to the crime.
The last of a group of teenagers who robbed a Lincoln Dairy Queen in May was sentenced Tuesday to probation.
Janae Haleem, 20, was given two years of intensive supervised probation at the Work Ethic Camp in McCook for being an accessory to the crime.
Haleem drove the getaway car, according to police.
At her sentencing Tuesday, she apologized for what happened.
Police say three female employees opened the back door of the business at 614 N. 66th St. around 10:50 p.m. on May 14 for a smoke break when three people wearing bandannas ran at them.
One of the robbers threatened them with a knife, while the other two held them down. Then they left with cash.
Police arrested a 16-year-old Dairy Queen employee who they said planned the crime, Tanesha Lucht, Joseph Haase, Haleem and a 14-year-old boy.
Lancaster County District Judge Jeffre Cheuvront sentenced the former employee, now 17, to three years on probation and sent her to the Work Ethic Camp. Lucht got three years probation and Haase 18 months intensive supervised probation.
The 14-year-old was sent to the Youth Rehabilitation and Treatment Center in Kearney.
In court Tuesday, Cheuvront told Haleem maybe he was giving her the chance on probation because if he sent her to prison he would always wonder if he had done the right thing.
But, if she messes up while on probation and gets resentenced, he said he won’t wonder as much.
