Pharmacy Robbery Suspect Allegedly Assaults Getaway Car Driver With 2-Liter Coke

October 29, 2010

The man accused in the armed robbery of a Molino pharmacy last month has been arrested again — this time for the alleged battery of the getaway car driver with a  two liter Coke.

Joseph Daniel Flowers, 56, is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and domestic violence battery for allegedly striking Krystal Lynn Collins.

Flowers was charged with robbing Scott’s Pharmacy on September 20 while wearing a bathrobe, slippers, yellow kitchen gloves and underwear on his head. Collins, 24, was also charged in connection with the robbery; deputies believe she was the getaway car driver.

Tuesday night, Flowers allegedly became involved in a physical altercation with Collins, who is his son’s girlfriend, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. The son told deputies that Flowers struck his girlfriend several times in the head and face before picking up a full two liter bottle of Coke and hitting Collins.

According to a Sheriff’s Office arrest report, Flowers admitted to striking Collins with the full bottle of Coke at his Molino Road home.

Flowers remained in the Escambia County Jail early Thursday morning without bond.

    I wonder if it was “coke zero or regular coke”? It may make a difference in court.

    …and after all she has done for him, too.

    technically, wouldn’t it be “battered with a bottle”? and that after first battering with a fist? I guess the body of the article has it that way, just the title.

    Hope the poor kid’s okay and that in the future, things actually do go better with Coke.

    David for careful drivers

    One day it’s hitting ones wife with a beer can—this one hitting this woman with a coke bottle—tell me we don’t know how to have fun at the north end of the county. Do I hear “just a good old boys” in the back ground?

  12. amanda on October 29th, 2010 9:31 am

    Does this guy have mental problems? I’m being serious, this sounds crazy to me that he is even walking the streets………..why aren’t both of them locked up after what they did at the pharmacy?

    when are people going to realize…jail and prison are bad places…it is where i go when i act like a whack a doodle and get addicted to bad drugs and alcohol. good for the jail and prison systems though…they get to stay full to overflowing with the folks that have mental issues, brain damage and addiction issues you know…big business.

    I call on this family to STOP bailing him out.

    HE IS A DANGER TO SOCIETY…..

    If you love him either GET HIM MENTAL HELP AND DRY HIM OUT…
    or let him stay in jail where is no longer a threat to himself or anyone else.

    geesh……

  23. Concerned Citizen on October 29th, 2010 7:09 am

    I am like everyone else does he have to kill someone to stay locked up. If I had of robbed a pharmacy they would have locked me up and throwed away the key.

  24. A♥♫ on October 29th, 2010 6:58 am

    WTG Deputies, keep up the great work with getting these criminals of our streets.

  25. Horrific! on October 29th, 2010 6:03 am
