Man Sentenced in GameStop Robbery

A 31-year-old Macungie man has been sentenced to 18 months to 60 months in jail for robbing the store on N. Cedar Crest Boulevard, South Whitehall, in May, according to Lehigh County court records. 

Matthew Clayton Miller was sentenced Oct. 5 by Lehigh County Judge Robert Steinberg, after pleading guilty in August to robbery in a negotiated plea, the records show. Other charges of robbery, theft, terroristic threats and receiving stolen property were withdrawn. 

South Whitehall Township that Miller entered the GameStop on a Saturday afternoon, handed a note to a sales clerk demanding money from the register and threatened harm if the clerk failed to comply. Police had said Miller took cash and fled on foot, but was apprehended less than an hour later in the area of Huckleberry Road and Cedar Crest Boulevard.
