A Fort Myers man was sentenced to 30 years in prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to a 2017 robbery of a Cash Advance store. 

Jeffery Davis, 46, stole around $1,500 from the Fort Myers store, according to the Office of the State Attorney, 20th Judicial Circuit. 

Two of the employees identified him from a photo lineup. 

Before the trial, after hearing witness testimony, he decided to plead guilty to the charges. 

Davis is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and robbery with a weapon. He was also designated as a habitual felony offender and prison release re-offender. 

He will serve his sentence concurrently with a federal case he resolved last year, a news release stated.
