Michael Robinson was sentenced to 12 months in prison after pleading guilty to inducing panic, according to Clark County court documents.

Charges of terrorism and making a terrorist threat were dismissed.

As News Center 7 previously reported, on Aug. 26 Robinson threatened to show up at a family member’s work and shoot her.

The next day a manager at Pratt Industries told police that Robinson made threats to a family member, who was an employee, and said he was planning to bring an AK47 and “light that (expletive) up.”

Robinson called the family member in front of the manager and said he would “come to the business to shoot her.”

Robinson then came to Pratt Industries and parked in the parking lot, prompting the manager to lock down the business, according to court documents.

An hour later police arrived and found Robinson.

The family member told the manager that the gun was still in Robinson’s trunk and he told her he would “bond out of jail and return.”

A Pratt Industries employee told police that he took the gun out of Robinson’s car.

Police collected the “AK47 style pistol” and in Robinson’s car found two loaded magazines, and two loaded AR-15 magazines, according to court documents.

The manager told police they lost $15,000 and that 75 employees were present for the incident.
