GOSHEN, Ind. (AP) — An Elkhart man accused of pointing a gun at a 4-year-old child during a house burglary has been sentenced to 19 years in prison.

The Elkhart Truth reports 22-year-old Davonta Johnson was sentenced Thursday by Circuit Judge Terry Shewmaker after he was found guilty of robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon in a bench trial.

According to the probable cause affidavit for his arrest, Johnson broke into a house, threatened the victims with a gun and stole about $230.

Shewmaker called it “inexcusable.”
