Barr, who was a Langston college student, was sentenced to 20 years each for first degree robbery and conspiracy to commit first degree robbery. The last 10 years will be suspended with good behavior on both counts and will run conjointly on all charges.

In the other charges, assault with a dangerous weapon and creating a false personation, Barr was sentenced to 10 years and will run conjointly with the prior charges.

Along with fees and fines, Barr is to pay $3,500 in restitution to the victims.
