Century Convenience Store Robbed At Gunpoint; Robber Runs With Register
June 22, 2009
Authorities are looking for robbery suspect after he took the register at gunpoint from a Century convenience store Sunday night.
Deputies say the black male entered the Southern Pit Stop on North Century Boulevard about 10:25 Sunday night. He displayed a black semi-automatic handgun and ran off with the register. He was last seen running –with the cash register — across North Century Boulevard near the offices of Ann Brooks, CPA as he headed toward Jackson Street. The cash register was recovered a short time later on Zion Street.
The suspect was described as being about 5-foot six-inches tall and weighing about 130 pounds. He was wearing a red shirt and black pants or shorts. The store clerks told deputies that he had a white shirt made of a silk-like fabric, wrapped around his head to conceal his identity.
Multiple agencies including the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Department and the Flomaton Police Department responded to the call.
The officers created a perimeter around the area while tracking dogs from the Century Correctional Institution were used in an attempt to locate the suspect. As of early Monday morning, the suspect was still on the loose.
There were no injuries reported in the incident.
This was not the first time in the past year the store has been robbed. During a robbery last July, the suspect did not display a weapon.
Further details were not immediately available early Monday morning.

Maybe the Sheriff will transfer some deputies back to patrol and send them to Century. We need more patrol officers up here!
“”Where’s Sheriff Morgan”" My exp. with our good ole local cops has shown me the bad guy’s always end out on top we the little people who strive to do right and work hard honestly pay for it all in one way or another. Maybe Mr. Morgan should take a deeper look on the inside of the system up here in the northend . Give me a sign I tell ya how they screw up !!!!
He will pay one way or the other when he reaches that big court in the sky…he can’t hide forever…everyone that does wrong in his or her life will answer to a HIGHER authority one day
He probably needed gas money. ha ha
The Word of God is still true – (Eccl 8:11) “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
lord…..lord….lord
Yes thats right this guy will beat the officers back to Century it’s a shame all this drugs and people getting rob here in Century it is a very sad town BUT now we do have to good Police officers up here i tell you now they will get this guy …. it might take a few days and he will be in jail for a few minutes . as long as they let them out of jail as quick as they do they are right back doing the same thing again
this is the type of crazy mess that keeps century in the news!! i hope they catch the robber and put him where he belongs but more than likely they will just get released on bond i’m sure.
