Salisbury man sentenced for 2021 armed robbery

SALISBURY, Md. – A Salisbury man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for armed robbery and other charges stemming from a December 2021 incident.

On December 11, 2021, Ramier Bender and several associates planned an armed robbery of a juvenile victim, with Bender arranging a meeting with the victim at his home. When the victim arrived, Bender and his accomplices, one of whom was armed with a handgun, demanded the victim’s backpack. The victim fought with the gunman over the firearm and was ultimately shot once in his lower back. Bender and the co-defendants then fled the scene.

The victim was treated for his injury and survived.

Bender pleaded guilty earlier this year to armed robbery and firearm use in a crime of violence.
