    "head_matter": "STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA v. TYRONE SPRINGS\nNo. 7226SC711\n(Filed 22 November 1972)\nRobbery \u00a7 4\u2014 armed robbery \u2014 sufficiency of evidence to withstand nonsuit\nThere was sufficient evidence to overrule defendant\u2019s motion for nonsuit in a robbery case where the evidence tended to show that defendant and two others entered a clothing store, that defendant held a gun on the assistant manager of the store while an accomplice informed him that \u201cthis is a hold up\u201d and that defendant and his accomplices took clothing from the store and money from the assistant manager and the cash register.\nAppeal by defendant from McLean, Judge, 17 April 1972 Session of Superior Court held in Mecklenburg County.\nDefendant Tyrone Springs was tried on a bill of indictment, proper in form, charging him with the armed robbery of Jeffrey R. Gresko on 9 February 1972.\nUpon the defendant\u2019s plea of not guilty, the State offered evidence tending to show that the defendant, with two other men, entered the \u201cPants East\u201d clothing store on North Tryon Street in the City of Charlotte at about 8:30 p.m. on 9 February 1972. At that time, Jeffrey R. Gresko, the assistant manager, and Rebecca Padgett, a clerk, were in the store alone. The defendant was wearing a green jacket with a hood pulled over his head. One of the men was wearing a red ski mask. The smallest of the three men asked the assistant manager to show him some pants. While the defendant was standing behind Gresko, pointing a gun at him, the smallest of the three men pulled out a gun, aimed it at Gresko, and stated \u201cThis is a holdup.\u201d Gresko and Miss Padgett were then taken to the back of the store, bound and gagged and made to lie on the floor. After taking $42.00 from Gresko\u2019s wallet, $240.00 from the cash register, 126 pairs of pants and 100 knit tops, the three men left the store.\nThe defendant offered evidence tending to establish an alibi.\nThe defendant was found guilty of armed robbery. From a judgment imposing a prison sentence of twenty-five years, defendant appealed.\nAttorney General Robert Morgan and Associate Attorney Ann Reed for the State.\nFrank H. Walker for defendant appellant."
