Bank Robbery Suspect Arrested After Taking Taxi
June 13, 2011
Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man this morning that took a taxi as his getaway care after he robbed an Escambia County bank.
At around 9:20 am this morning the suspect walked into the Bank of America at 206 N. New Warrington Road armed with a stun gun and demainding money. Deputies identified the suspect as 22-year-old Dureco Keonne Brown.
“Brown displayed a stun gun and demanded money from one of the tellers,” said sheriff’s department spokesman Deputy Chris Welborn. “He then jumped over the counter, grabbed the teller’s purse and ran out of the bank.”
A K-9 unit arrived shortly after the call was dispatched and tracked Brown to the intersection of Elm and New Warrington Roads.
“Patrol deputies on a perimeter observed the suspect leave a business and get into a taxi,” said Welborn. “They were able to stop the taxi and arrest Brown without incident.”
Brown was booked into the Escambia County Jail on charges of Theft, Robbery and Resisting Arrest. He was being held on a $17,000 bond.

10 yr minimum for pulling the stun gun.
He just got out of jail last month for felony tresspassing. Three hots and a cot for him. He had a weed conviction last year.
look at it this way: if he were a genius, he’d probably be in another line of work
Moma always said,”Stupid is as stupid does.”
This young man is only 22 yrs and on his way to the federal prison, not the Saufely Field Road type, the Lewisburg type! I guess all I can say is welcome to the NFL rookie.
