A Salem teenager was sentenced to spend five years in a youth correctional facility for robbing a convenience store in southeast Salem last year.

Marion County Circuit Court Judge Linsday Partridge sentenced Jordan H. Fernandez, 17, on Aug. 21 to five years in custody, according to a statement from the Marion County District Attorney’s Office.

He will serve that time at MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility for the adult charge, according to Marion County Chief Deputy District Attorney Brendan Murphy. The Oregon Youth Authority will determine how long he will stay at the facility for the juvenile charge.

Before the sentencing, Fernandez pleaded guilty to unlawful use of a weapon as an adult, and admitted to a juvenile charge of first-degree robbery, the statement said.
