15-Year Old Arrested For Allegedly Stealing Tires For Getaway Car
September 22, 2009
A middle school student was arrested Monday in connection with an incident last week where tires were allegedly stolen for the getaway car used in the robbery of the Molino Tom Thumb.
The 15-year old Century boy was arrested on larceny and burglary charges when he appeared in court Monday on an unrelated trespassing charge. NorthEscambia.com’s policy is to not identify juveniles in criminal cases.
Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies found another man, Antonio Demetrius Ewing, 19, trying to fit tires onto a Pontiac Firebird with no tag in the parking lot of the Gospel Light Temple on Alger Road in Century about 9:20 September 14. The Firebird — the alleged getaway car from the robbery of the Tom Thumb in Molino earlier that morning — had a flat tire. Deputies said Ewing had taken the tires and tools from a nearby shed, and he was trying to fit tires onto the Firebird — including tires that had no rims.
Evidence tied the juvenile to the car and the tire incident, according to deputies, leading to the charges against the Ernest Ward Middle School student.
Deputies say both Ewing and the juvenile are suspects in the Tom Thumb robbery, and they expect more warrants to be issued by the State Attorney’s office.
Ewing, of West Highway 4, Century, was charged with burglary, escape and larceny. He remains in the Escambia County Jail.
