Jason Davis was found guilty on two charges of armed robbery last week, court records show. Davis was accused of robbing the Denny’s at 3310 Washtenaw Ave. and Circle K gas station at 1420 E. Stadium Blvd. the night of April 14 and early April 15, respectively.

According to police, Davis robbed the Denny’s at 11:10 p.m. April 14 and the Circle K at 3:15 a.m. April 15. Small amounts of cash were taken in both incidents and no one was injured.

Davis was reportedly carrying a gun during the robberies.

Davis has been lodged at the Washtenaw County Jail since he was arraigned on April 20. He’s scheduled to be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 23 by Washtenaw County Trial Court Judge Donald Shelton.

The maximum sentence for armed robbery is life in prison.

This is not the first time Davis has been convicted of a felony. State records show convictions for bank robbery in 2007, two counts of larceny in a building for a 2003 incident, escaping from prison in 1999 and two counts of armed robbery in 1990. The 42-year-old was listed as an absconder from parole before his arrest.
