Huddleston was charged with two counts of aggravated robbery and two counts of criminal mischief. He pleaded guilty Monday before Benton County Senior Circuit Judge Tom Keith. He will first be eligible for parole in eight years.
Cases against co-defendants Daniel Ray Ford and Royce Allen McNames are still active.

BENTONVILLE -- Horace Grady Canada, 38, pleaded not guilty Monday to kidnapping and terroristic threatening.
Canada, of 1905 Cierra Drive, was arrested Feb. 16 in connection with the kidnapping and aggravated robbery of Chris Chandler.
Canada requested his $250,000 bond be reduced, so Benton County Circuit Judge David Clinger set a bond hearing for Wednesday afternoon. An omnibus hearing is also set for May 10.
Chandler, 38, was brought to the Rogers Police Department on Feb. 12 by a passer-by who picked Chandler up on New Hope Road. Chandler's feet and hands were bound together with duct tape and bailing wire, according to police records.
Vicky Rush, 37, Leah Jewell-Strum, 26, and Christopher Bowerman, 46, are also believed to have been involved in the incident, police said.
