BOISE -- Two men found guilty of robbing a man who answered a bogus Craigslist ad are going to prison.

Fourth District Judge Michael McLaughlin sentenced 20-year-old Dominic Hinton to 12-and-a-half years in prison Thursday.  Hinton can seek parole after serving 2-and-a-half years.

His accomplice, 19-year-old Roman Nazarko was sentenced to 10 years, with one-and-a-half years fixed.

Hinton and Nazarko were arrested in September after Ada County Sheriff Gary Raney answered what turned out to be a bogus Craigslist ad for a laptop.

After the arrest, Raney told us he became suspicious and called Garden City Police when the seller asked to meet him in a dark parking lot.

Investigators say Hinton and Nazarko had stolen hundreds of dollars from a man at gunpoint a week earlier in a similar scam.
