Prosecutors say a Tucson boy who robbed restaurants and stores at gunpoint when he was 13 and 14 years old was "a hard-core gangster."

His defense attorney says he was duped by older criminals.

Either way, Tyrone "Little Mad Dog" Wilson, now 15, was sentenced Wednesday to seven years in prison by a judge who warned him to stop listening to his friends.

Wilson was arrested in March 2004 along with other members of what police described as a violent crew of armed robbers.

According to court documents, between Dec. 1, 2003, and Feb. 2, 2004, members of the gang robbed convenience stores, a hardware store and restaurants at gunpoint.

Wilson, who was transferred into adult court, was indicted in April 2004 on more than 20 counts of kidnapping, armed robbery, aggravated robbery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was implicated in 15 robberies.

Mr. Dog will probably be going by another name (the female of the species) within his first month. Be some shave-headed muscle freak's "wife" before Labor Day and be shanked before Christmas.

"He should have gotten 20 years."

Be patient. After he does his time on this count, he'll get out and do the same crap. He'll be older; then he'll get 15-20, maybe longer depending on the crime he learns in the slammer.

Thats why he should get longer. Hopefully he won't kill anyone, but he will only be 22 when he gets out. That is still too young for someone as criminally inclined as mad dog. Let him out when he's 42 and everyone would feel a bit safer.

He will get out far before he's 22... maybe two or three years..
He's just a baby you see.. a mere yout.. a minor.. misunderstood and very fragile.. Goin to prison is probably a family tradition.. He will become Uncle Dog to all his nephews and nieces.. After the coming of age ritual..
