An 18-year-old Kansas City man was sentenced this week to 30 years in state prison after a conviction in an armed robbery at a Waffle House last August. Officials say the new sentence will be served alongside a separate 23-year term in a deadly September shooting case, with courts in both counties ordering the time to run concurrently.
Robbery inside the Waffle House
Court records state the robbery took place just after 10:20 p.m. on Aug. 21, 2025, when the defendant entered the restaurant with an acquaintance, then chased another patron back inside. According to court documents, he pointed a firearm at the victim, demanded, “Give me your phone,” and threatened, “I’ll shoot you,” while a waitress later told investigators she feared for her life. As reported by KCTV, the victim surrendered his phone, and no one was physically injured.
Booked in Clay County
Local custody records show the defendant was moved into Clay County following the recent court proceedings. The Clay County Sheriff's Office detention listings include a booking for "FLECK, UNDRELLIUS" dated July 14, 2026, confirming he is now housed in the county system. That booking came shortly before the conviction and the 30-year sentence handed down this week.
Also convicted in a deadly gas-station shooting
The defendant was also tied to a separate Sept. 6, 2025, convenience-store shooting that left a man dead. The Jackson County Prosecutor's Office reports he pleaded guilty in that case and received a 23-year sentence in May for second-degree murder and related robbery charges. That office notes those Jackson County terms were imposed in May, while KCTV reports the Clay and Jackson County sentences have been ordered to run concurrently.
What’s next
With lengthy state prison terms now in place, officials say the defendant will serve his sentences in Missouri’s corrections system. Prosecutors add that additional matters involving the defendant remain under review as the courts complete the remaining paperwork.
