Johnson County Attorney Julie Smith says Michael Engstrom was sentenced Monday for last February's convenience store robbery in Pawnee City and chase.
Engstrom was sentenced to 60 to 75 years for firing at officers during the chase. He was also sentenced to 15 to 20 years for robbery and 8 to 12 years for a weapons charge.
