A jury will not get to decide the fate of a Bay City man accused of assaulting and robbing an acquaintance. Santino L. Robledo was to go to trial on five felony charges Tuesday. Instead, the 24-year-old accepted a plea deal in which four of the counts were dropped last week. Robledo now awaits sentencing Dec. 12 on one count of assault with intent to rob while armed, court records show. Robledo pleaded no contest, which is not an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing purposes. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors dropped charges of armed robbery, felony firearms, carrying a weapon with unlawful intent and assault with a weapon, records show.
