A Spokane man arrested in Las Vegas after a home-invasion robbery last spring was credited for time served in the jail after pleading guilty to riot this week. 

Taveus M. Brown, 30, took a plea deal that greatly reduced his charges and saved him from the prison sentence imposed on his co-conspirator, Wesley I. Veazie.

Veazie, 22, (right) was sentenced to 43 months in prison with credit for 101 days served last month after pleading guilty to second-degree robbery. He's now at the Washington Corrections Center in Shelton.

The men originally faced charges of first-degree kidnapping, first-degree burglary and attempted first-degree robbery arrested after a man said they'd burst into his apartment at 2500 E. South Riverton on March 2 and held him at gunpoint.

A SWAT team searched a home at 1921 E. 4th Ave. the next day but didn't find the men.

A Spokane police dog, Bennie, later captured Veazie after he ran from traffic stop on the North Side.  Brown was captured in Vegas.
