Second Robbery Suspect Busted; May Be Responsible For North End Crimes
July 5, 2010
A second suspect is now behind bars in connection with armed robberies in Escambia County, including perhaps robberies in the north end.
Thomas Kellon Sledge, 20, was booked into the Escambia County jail Sunday night on charges of armed robbery. He is being held on a quarter million dollars bond. He is accused of robbing the TQ Mini Mart on Olive Road on May 28. Deputies said Sledge is the half-brother of Cheraina Cristle Campbell, 19.
Campbell was arrested June 29 and charged with armed robbery with a firearm and public order crimes for wearing a mask or hood during the commission of a felony in connection with a robbery that occurred June 28 at the TQ Mini Mart located at 1112 East Olive Road.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said that while investing the June 29 robbery, they developed information that led them to issue warrants for Sledge.
Deputies are also looking for a third suspect which they have not named.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said Campbell (pictured left) may be the suspect in several other robberies in the north end of the county, but declined to release further information due to their ongoing investigation. She remains in the Escambia County Jail without bond.
During the June 28 robbery, deputies said Campbell entered the store wearing a mask and pointing a handgun at the clerk and demanded money. Deputies said she removed her mask as she fled the store and turned to look back at the store allowing the clerk to see the her face.A K-9 unit tracked the Campbell to a nearby abandoned trailer. There was no one inside the trailer, but a photo of Campbell was found inside. The store clerk positively identified Campbell from the photo as the person who robbed the store at gunpoint.

This is a very good example of what our socialism government is moving towards.
You said it sarcastically but one never knows these days, may only be unhappy they were caught.
