Arrests Made In Robbery, Stabbing In Atmore

June 23, 2011

Arrests have been made in an Atmore convenience store robbery and an unrelated stabbing.

Robbery Suspected Arrested

An Atmore man is charged with the early morning robbery of a convenience store.

The Atmore Police Department responded to a panic alarm at the Kangaroo Express on North Main Street about 4:09 Monday morning. The clerk, who was not injured, said she was robbed by a black male wearing a hoodie and armed with a handgun. The suspect fled on foot toward Brooks Lane. A K-9 tracking team from the Alabama Department of Corrections was unsuccessful in locating the suspect.

After Tracy Devon Owens, 40, was later arrested on a unrelated charges, investigators determined he was responsible for the convenience store holdup. He was booked into the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton on charges of first degree robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Stabbing Suspect Arrested

An Atmore man was arrested this week on charges related to a stabbing a week ago.

Maurice White, 39, is charged with stabbing Bruno Marshall, 41, on Ann Street on Friday, June 17.  Marshall was found lying on the ground with multiple stab wounds to his chest. He was transported by ambulance to Atmore Community Hospital and later transported to the USA Medical Center in Mobile by LifeFlight.

Witnesses said White ran toward Marshall’s vehicle and the two got into a fight. White then, according to witnesses, pulled out a knife and stabbed Marshall several times before fleeing on foot.

    What a mess!! This sort of thing happens on a weekly, if not daily basis in the small town of Atmore Alabama.. On the bright side, unlike Prichard, at least we can still afford a police department to arrest them and lock them up when they commit these crimes..
