A man charged with four armed robberies in East Naples that netted nearly $20,000 was sentenced today to five years in prison.
Dario R. Maidana, of 86 Truman Circle, was 19 years old in 2004 when authorities said he robbed the four businesses. He pleaded no contest today and was convicted in Collier County Circuit Court of four armed robbery charges.
Investigators caught Maidana after authorities said he bragged about how he got cash to purchase new clothes and a Honda Civic.

In each of the four robberies, Maidana showed a gun and threatened to kill or shoot the clerks.
On Jan. 11, 2004, he stole around $15,000 from Rapid Giros, 6012 Radio Road, using a BB gun to force the clerk to hand the money over.
He was charged with robbing the Dollar General Store at 4903 Rattlesnake Hammock Road, where he made off with $1,400. Deputies found a sweatshirt that fit the description of the one the robber was wearing.
On Feb. 9, 2004, deputies say he robbed a check-cashing store at 11263 U.S. 41 East of $395 and threatened to kill the clerk.
And in another holdup, he stole $1,444 from Naples Video Center at 2291 U.S. 41 E., reports say.
