Ethan Gilmore, who was 20 years old at the time of the crime, will additionally have to serve 100 hours of community service.
Gilmore entered the Ammon Speedi-Mart on Feb. 24, 2021, brandished a handgun, and demanded money from the clerk, police said. He ran from the building before being able to get any money.
