Two Guilty In Escambia Robbery

April 18, 2011

Co-defendants Tiderius Terrel Warren and Jazz Vonshay Dewindt have been found guilty by an Escambia County jury of robbery with a firearm, shooting at an occupied vehicle and two counts each of aggravated assault.

On August 8, 2010, siblings Ashley and Travis Benjamin were at the corner of Tarragona and Hernandez streets when Warren flagged their vehicle down and told them to pull over, according to State Attorney Bill Eddins. Dewindt came to the passenger window. Warren, Dewindt and a third unidentified male pulled out handguns and began demanding money. Dewindt grabbed Ashley’s purse. As Ashley and Travis quickly pulled away, all three pointed guns at the vehicle and fired multiple times into it.

Warren and Dewindt will be sentenced by Judge Linda L. Nobles once a pre-sentence investigation is concluded. They are each facing a minimum mandatory sentence of 20 years state prison with a possible maximum of life in prison.
