Upstate Man Sentenced for Gas Station Armed Robbery

Roderick Shundale Dover, 33, is sentenced to 30 years in prison for armed robbery after a harrowing incident at a Cherokee County gas station in 2022 where he threatened a clerk with a loaded gun. The robbery escalated when Dover placed the gun to the clerk’s neck and pulled the trigger, but fortunately, the weapon malfunctioned and did not discharge.
