Man Arrested For Robbing Tax Return Business When He Picks Up His Own Tax Refund Check
January 28, 2010
An Atmore man has been arrested and charged with robbing an Atmore tax return business after he returned to file his tax return — wearing the same clothing he had on during the robbery.
Keith Lamar Rodgers, 38, is charged with robbery.
On January 21, a black male wearing dark clothing entered the Rapid Return Tax Service on North Main Street in Atmore, demanded money and threatened to shoot the clerk. He fled on the foot, and tracking dogs from Fountain Correctional Facility were unable to locate him.
Employees at the business, who were not working the night of the robbery, identified Rogers as fitting the description of the offender when he went into the business to file a tax return wearing the same clothes he was wearing the night of the robbery, Investigator Robby Williams said. Atmore Police produced a photo lineup using the identification information that Rogers had provided to Rapid Return Tax Service, and the clerk that was working the night of the robbery made a positive identification of Rogers.
When Rogers returned to pick up his tax return check Thursday, the clerk immediately recognized him and called police. Atmore Police arrested Rogers after a short vehicle pursuit.

Great for the John Boy and Billy show’s dumb crook news on 96.1 the rocket radio morning show.
Wow. I work at a tax service and I hope that doesn’t happen to us. That’s crazy that he wore the same clothes. Who does that? Wow. Smart man, real smart.
What a big dummy! This is too Funny.Thank God no one was hurt.
My guess is that he needed food, clothes, and a warm place to stay. And, perhaps, medical care.
Who’s who, just wait five min. and someone will top him.
He will not need that return where he’s going. He may even make a few new friends. Hey budda, Keith is coming to the big house.
