The man accused of robbing two Pittsburg gas stations at gunpoint and setting fire to a school building was sentenced to 20 years behind bars last week after pleading guilty to the two counts of aggravated robbery in Camp County District Court last week.
Steven Marlin Schade, 45, of Arizona, entered his plea before Judge Danny Woodson Monday, March 17, in Camp County District Court.  He was represented by local court appointed attorney Steven Simmons. 
According to local District Attorney, Charles C. Bailey, Mr. Schade has started his sentence at a prison in Texas, even though he had outstanding warrants in Utah.
“Mr. Schade received two 20 year sentences for aggravated robbery to run concurrently. He will serve 10 years of the sentence before he can be considered for parole,” Mr. Bailey said.
Mr. Schade was taken into custody in the early hours of Jan. 15 after evading several local law enforcement agencies for hours. 
According to the District Attorney Bailey, Schade was not indicted for the arson charge.
