BILLINGS - A 31-year old man accused of throwing a cup of hot chocolate at a Billings convenience store clerk to access the till pleaded guilty to robbery.

KULR-TV reports Michael Barreca Jr., changed his plea Thursday in District Court in Billings. Police say he got away with $48 in the December robbery. The clerk did not have serious injuries.

Prosecutors are recommending a 10-year sentence to run concurrently with a previous robbery conviction when Barreca is sentenced on April 1.
