An armed robber who held up two people in Pacific Beach and three others elsewhere has pleaded guilty to all charges and faces at least eight years in prison, a prosecutor said on Nov. 13.

While Anthony Caleb Johnson, 22, could get a maximum sentence of 41 years and four months in state prison, the judge who took the guilty pleas set a sentencing lid of eight years, said Deputy District Attorney Malak Behrouznami.

San Diego Superior Court Judge Dwayne Moring set sentencing for Dec. 3. Johnson, of Lakeside, remains in the South Bay Detention Facility without bail.

Johnson pulled up to two men on July 10 at 2:07 a.m. while they were waiting for an Uber ride in the 4500 block of Mission Boulevard in Pacific Beach. He stuck a gun out a car window, demanding money, which the men gave him, and he drove off, according to the prosecutor.

Johnson next drove to a 7-Eleven store on Clairemont Drive and then held up another 7-Eleven store on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard. At 3:11 a.m., Johnson robbed a clerk at a 7-Eleven store in El Cajon. Johnson pleaded guilty to robbing these stores.

Behrouznami said the reason Johnson could potentially face 41 years is due to his guilty plea to personally using a firearm in the robberies and his prior record as a juvenile which counts as a first strike.

San Diego Police arrested him on July 13 after investigators obtained Johnson’s vehicle license plate number and entered it into the automated license plate recognition system. It showed the vehicle was in the area of all the sites where the robberies took place that night.

Johnson pleaded guilty before having a preliminary hearing. No one was shot or injured in the robberies.
