Escambia Man Arrested For Armed Robbery; Accomplice On The Run

March 18, 2011

An Escambia County man was arrested on armed robbery charges as deputies continue their search for his accomplice.

Steven Alexander Wilson, 18, of Pensacola was charged in the armed robbery of a Tom Thumb convenience store at 6930 Pine Forest Road.
At about 9:34 p.m. on March 4, Escambia County  deputies responded to a reported robbery at the store. When deputies arrived they were told by the clerk that two people entered the store and demanded money from the register. The suspects were said to have been wearing all black and wearing masks. One of the suspects was armed with a knife.
Investigators with the Sheriff’s major crimes unit were able to identify the armed suspect as Wilson. They also identified his accomplice as 21-year-old Courtney Aviana Rogers of 6761 Community Drive in Pensacola. Investigators have obtained warrant for her arrest.

“These two are charged with robbery and public order crimes,” said Sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Chris Welborn. “The public order criminal charge is for wearing a mask while committing this crime.”

Investigators encourage anyone with information that would lead to the arrest of Rogers to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at 850-436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at 850-433-STOP.
