A Chattanooga man with five violent felonies on his record has been sentenced to serve 30 years in prison.

Demetrius Joiner, 30, was given a 20-year sentence by Judge Curtis Collier after he was ruled to be an Armed Career Criminal.

Judge Collier said the term would be consecutive to several state sentences imposed earlier on Joiner, including 10 years for aggravated robbery.

Joiner's record includes three aggravated robberies, an attempted aggravated robbery and an aggravated assault.

In an incident in 2008, he and his brother, Isaiah Joiner, were charged in a home invasion in East Brainerd where a 14-year-old boy was home alone. The boy called his father, who arrived while the pair was still at the residence.

The father tried to block their car in his driveway, then he later gave chase. Shots were fired at his car, including one that hit his vehicle, during the pursuit.
