Local Brothers Arrested After Man Says He’s Robbed While Trying To Buy Methadone

January 9, 2010

Two local brothers are behind bars in Santa Rosa County accused in the armed robbery of a man that says he was robbed a gunpoint while he was trying to buy drugs.

dawbro10.jpgColey Ray Daw, 24, of Gandy Lane, Century, and Rody Lee Daw, 25, of Palafox Street, Flomaton, are both facing felony charges of robbery with a firearm and grand theft.

The incident reportedly began in Flomaton on January 1 when the victim and his brother were at a home in Flomaton where a man referred to as “Coley” approached him offering to sell methadone. The victim agreed to purchase the drugs. The victim and the man called Coley were driven in a pickup truck by another man that Coley called his brother to a boat ramp on Oil Plant Road in Jay where they were to meet the methadone dealer.

Once in Jay, Coley reportedly pulled a large caliber hunting rifle out of a toolbox on the truck and robbed the victim at gunpoint of his money and cell phone. The victim memorized the tag number of the getaway truck as it drove away, leaving him stranded. The victim then walked to a residence for help.

A Flomaton Police Department officer spotted the truck on Sidney Manning Boulevard and took Rody Daw into custody after he was positively identified by the victim as the person driving the pickup truck.

Coley Daw was taken into custody the following day at a home on Cary Street in Flomaton where he was found hiding under a bed. Coley was also positively identified by the victim. Both men were booked into the Escambia County (Ala.) Detention Center in Brewton.

Both men waived extradition and were transferred to the Santa Rosa County Jail where they are being held on $52,500 bond each.

    Hope they get the methadone dealer,too! There are a lot of young people in our area on that stuff and they really don’t realize how dangerous it is for someone not legally prescribed for and monitored by a doctor.

    If a crime is committed against you while you are commining a crime, should that be a crime or is carma getting you?

    of consideration: maybe the “victim” was a confidential informant all along…and the “duh” brothers got suckered…that would explain a few things, right?…seems to me, that the pair has just experienced some form of miscalculated “poetic justice” ….oh well..

    Shouldn’t there be three arrests or am I missing something?

  14. George on January 9th, 2010 8:05 am
