Lorenzo Wood Jr. (Brown Co. Jail)
OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — An Oshkosh man was sentenced to 15 years in prison Wednesday for the armed robbery of a Kwik Trip.
Lorenzo Wood Jr., 59, was convicted of Hobbs Act robbery and possession of a firearm as a felon by an armed career criminal.
According to court documents, just after midnight Oct. 13, 2025, Wood Jr. walked into the Kwik Trip located off Highway 41 on Jackson Street in the town of Vinland with a revolver in his hand. He pointed the firearm at the clerk and demanded money from the cash register. The clerk gave Wood Jr. $170.
Wood Jr. left the scene in a silver SUV. Law enforcement tracked his vehicle and quickly identified Wood Jr. by his vehicle and his distinct walking gait, which was seen on surveillance cameras inside the store. A search of his residence led law enforcement to recover the revolver used in the robbery.
At the sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge Byron B. Conway noted the serious nature of the offense and profound impact the robbery had on the victim. He further noted that Wood Jr. has spent much of his adult life in and out of state prison for similar convenience store robberies.
Following his release from prison, Wood Jr. will spend five years on supervised release.
