A robber whose footprints in the snow led police to him was sentenced Thursday to 30 months in prison.

Damien Flowers, 32, of 21 Park St. entered an Alford plea and was found guilty of robbery May 19 before Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Stacy Cook for robbing a delivery person for Vito’s Pizza on Jan. 17 of money and his delivery. As part of his sentence, Judge Cook ordered Flowers to pay $173 in restitution to Vito’s Pizza.

His attorney, Gretchen DeBacker, said Flowers also faces up to five years in federal prison for violating the terms of his release from prison for a 2006 bank robbery conviction.
