Myrtle beach man sentenced to 12 years for domino's pizza robbery

A Myrtle Beach man was sentenced to 12 years in prison after entering an Alford plea in connection with the armed robbery of a Domino’s Pizza restaurant where $88 was stolen, prosecutors said.

A Horry County man will spend more than a decade in prison after pleading guilty under North Carolina v. Alford to a strong-armed robbery at a Myrtle Beach Domino’s Pizza location. Jamarre Clayburn, 24, entered the plea Monday in Horry County Circuit Court and was sentenced to 12 years behind bars.

Key Points

• Jamarre Clayburn, 24, entered an Alford plea to strong-armed robbery
• Prosecutors said he robbed a Myrtle Beach Domino’s Pizza and stole $88
• A judge sentenced him to 12 years in prison, with at least 85% of the sentence to be served before supervised release eligibility

The plea was entered Monday before Circuit Court Judge B. Alex Hyman, according to Fifteenth Circuit Solicitor Jimmy Richardson. The case was prosecuted by Senior Assistant Solicitor Seth Oskin.

Under an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit guilt but acknowledges that prosecutors have enough evidence that a jury would likely convict.

Robbery occurred at Myrtle Beach Domino’s

According to prosecutors, Clayburn was arrested by the Myrtle Beach Police Department on Jan. 2, 2026, in connection with the robbery.

Investigators said Clayburn entered a Domino’s Pizza restaurant armed with a BB gun and demanded money from the cash register. Authorities said he left with exactly $88 in cash.

Although Clayburn did not admit involvement in the robbery, prosecutors said the victim identified him in a photo lineup and employees from nearby businesses also identified him.

State sought maximum sentence

The Solicitor’s Office said prosecutors requested the maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.

Judge Hyman ultimately sentenced Clayburn to 12 years. Under South Carolina law, he must serve at least 85% of the sentence before becoming eligible for supervised release.

“This case is another reminder that taking things that do not belong to you is not worth a long time in prison. Armed violence is not tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible,” Oskin said.

“It takes cooperation and effort, like what was displayed here by the Myrtle Beach Police Department, the victim of the case, and community members who believe in holding people accountable for their wrongs. This was a very quick resolution made possible by the above-mentioned cooperation,” he added.
