Brian Lujan Sentenced For Aggravated Robbery

A Casper man who didn't challenge accusations that he robbed two people while using a weapon, will be spending time behind bars.

Brian Lujan was sentenced to five-seven years in prison, after he entered an Alford Plea to one count of aggravated robbery, and guilty to one count of child endangerment meth.

Investigators with the Casper Police Department say in early August 2015, the first victim stopped by Lujan's house.

The victim told them when both were in a vehicle, Lujan pulled out what appeared to be a black handgun, hit the victim in the head and told him to give him his money, which he did.

Later that evening, another victim said he was with Lujan on North Wolcott Street in Casper, when an argument started and Lujan pointed a knife and took a cell phone.

When interviewed Lujan told police that he had pointed a pocket-knife at both victims when he robbed them.

He also said he had used methamphetamine and marijuana.

Officers later obtained a search warrant and found drug paraphernalia at Lujan's residence.

Investigators learned that Lujan has a child, but it was unclear if the child lived with him.

An Alford plea is not an admission of guilt, but it acknowledges that prosecutors have enough evidence and/or testimony to get a guilty conviction from a jury, had the case gone to trial.

Lujan's actual sentence was five-to-seven years in prison for the aggravated robbery, and three-to-five years in prison for the child endangerment meth.

Both of those sentences will run concurrent to each other, or at the same time.
