KINGMAN – A Kingman woman involved in the robbery portion of a Golden Valley homicide was sentenced to the Arizona Department of Corrections on Thursday, Jan. 16. Judge Billy Sipe imposed the five-year prison term mandated in the plea agreement entered last month for Chyanne Teeples, 22.
Teeples will be on probation for seven years upon her release from prison. Her punishment came one week after her boyfriend Adam Pearl, 25, was given a 25-year prison term after he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the Sept. 1, 2024 stabbing death of Brandin McAlister, 32.
Authorities have said that Teeples accompanied Pearl as they traveled to confront McAlister at a residential property in the area of Wingate Drive and Halite Road in Golden Valley. Former Deputy Mohave County Attorney Jeff Haws previously told Judge Sipe that Pearl and McAlister first engaged in a fistfight in an argument involving a generator and that the victim suffered a punctured lung when stabbed by Pearl.
Pearl and Teeples reportedly took cell phones from other victims to aid their escape as they fled on the victimís motorcycle. They were arrested the next day in Kingman.
Teeples pleaded guilty to two counts of armed robbery.
