Scott’s Pharmacy Robbery: Woman Charged With Driving Getaway Car
October 8, 2010
A Cantonment woman has been charged in connection with the September 20 armed robbery of Scott’s Pharmacy in Molino.
Krystal Lynn Collins, 24, was charged with robbery with a firearm. She was released from the Escambia County Jail on $25,000 bond.
According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, deputies believe Collins drove the getaway car for Joseph Daniel Flowers, 56, who remains in the Escambia County Jail on $60,000 bond. Flowers was arrested September 23 and charged with robbery with a firearm, grand theft, possession of a firearm in pharmacy, and wearing a mask while committing a felony.

About 1:15 the afternoon of September 20, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department believes Flowers robbed the pharmacy at Highway 29 and Molino Road at gunpoint while wearing boxer shorts on his head.
The bandit was described by witnesses as a white male in a navy blue bathrobe, blue jeans, black house slippers, yellow kitchen-type gloves, and with boxer shorts on his head. He entered the store and announced that he was robbing the business. Employees said he was armed with a revolver that was wrapped in a plastic bag and pointed at a store employee as he demanded prescription narcotics. Flowers threatened to kill witnesses if the police responded, the report states.
Flowers fled the store with a large quantity of narcotics worth several thousand dollars in two plastic bags, according to the ECSO report.
A witness saw Flowers get into a silver, mid-size vehicle parked behind the pharmacy after the robbery. He was unable to get the tag number from the car, but he did note two stickers, one red and one white, on the vehicle.
Scott’s Pharmacy personnel told deputies that they believed Flowers, a pharmacy customer, was the robbery suspect, based upon recognizing his voice and a unique gait due to a back injury. Deputies found a silver Honda Civic at Flowers’ residence in the 400 block of Molino Road that matched the description given by the witness.
Collins was present at the home on Molino Road, according to the Sheriff’s Office. She told deputies that she had driven Flowers to a Dollar General Store near the pharmacy prior to 11:00 that morning and she had not gone anywhere else. Surveillance video from the Dollar General placed Collins in the store between 1:06 and 1:08 p.m. — just prior to the pharmacy robbery.
She purchased a bottle of Coca-Cola and a Mountain Dew at the Dollar General, according to deputies. Flowers dropped the red cap from a bottle of Coca-Cola inside the pharmacy during the robbery, deputies said. A Coca-Cola bottle without a cap was discovered in the vehicle at Flowers’ residence.
Inside the home, deputies recovered a .38 caliber Smith and Wesson revolver matching the description of the one given by store employees, according to the report.

This is a sad situation all around. Both are heavely addicted to drugs and need long term rehab. But now it looks as if they will get long term prison. Cant fix the problem without fixing the addiction.
Its sad pathetic people like that will rob hard working people like at the pharmacy. I think anyone around will agree scotts pharmacy has the nicest most caring people up there and don’t deserve to have to worry about being robbed like that! Good job with getting these people off the streets and cleaning up this town! It sure isn’t what it once was out here… but thank god everyones ok!
I guess it depends on what your definition of “mixed up with” is.
associated, tied to, in cahoots with, (robbing with ?), related, allied, linked, connected, accompanying, concomitant, supplementary, attendant
Would any of those apply?
lolololol
soooo
I guess being out in a car with him and he has a gun and their robbing
a drug store is not being mixed up with him……
WOW
food for thought there!
krystal is not mixed up with a 56 yr old man… danny is her bf’s father.
Times are tuff, but lock her up.
Whadda maroon…
….and another one bites the dust!!!!
Such a pretty young woman….
….so sad to get mixed up with a 56 yo man who does such things.
Drugs are such an obstacle to good decision making. Very sad…
See she had plenty of time to get ready and dye her hair!!! The person who said she has kids. Ya know its really sad but people now days dont care if they have kids or not as long as they get there drugs or whatever. You should really clean your life up and mature before you ever spit out a kid instead of spit out a kid and help rob a pharmacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever notice how quickly that they catch our home grown criminals? We have got some of the stupidest law breakers ever around here! Bubba bumps off the local stop and rob and 2 hours later he’s drinkin’ beer with his buds telling them all the details….one of em tells on him and boom! another stupid criminal in jail. If it werent so serious you’d have to laugh.
Hay JRES what the heck is a MARE game. I know you Auburn types like horses, but I never heard of a MARE Game…
“allowed to play one mare game a season than the rest of the college nation”
the decale on the bumper are all of the so called national championships bama has suppose to have won! instead they were given to bama because they were allowed to play one mare game a season than the rest of the college nation. so bama went back in time and if they were 10-1 or had a beter record than anyone else they claimed a national title. oh by the way, that other team they were allowed to play was vandy!! it’s a fact. look it up!!
BAMA FANS !!!!!!!! Glad it wasnt a PENN STATE sticker !!!!!!!
So if Danny had mental issues, what is her excuse??
the bottle-cap bandits! haha
she has kids!!!!!!
somebody slap her a couple of times for me…..
Dumb and dumber…………
Crystal , What the heck were you thinking? Your Momma raised you better than that !!!!!!! I am sooooooo disappointed in you girl. Did you think about your kids while you were doing this?? I hope you straighten your life out SOON !!!
Your Other MOM
