Eds: APNewsNow.
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- An Alabama man has pleaded guilty to committing armed robberies in five states during a cocaine-fueled crime spree in August.
U.S. Attorney Lanny Welch announced Friday that 26-year-old Robert Cameron Foust, of Alabaster, Ala., pleaded guilty to armed robberies in Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Welch says Foust admitted that the five-day crime spree occurred after he relapsed into cocaine use shortly after being released from Alabama state prison in August. He was arrested in Salina on Aug. 26 after committing a robbery earlier in the day in Newton.
Sentencing is set for March 1, 2010. He faces up to life in prison.
