Robbery Outside Cordova Mall Gets Man Life In Prison
July 14, 2011
An Escambia County man was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday for robbing a man outside Cordova Mall.
Judge Nicholas Geeker sentenced Anthony Rhaney II for carjacking with a firearm, robbery with a firearm and fleeing to elude a law enforcement officer.
Rhaney was convicted for robbing a man outside of the Cordova Mall in Pensacola on September 16, 2010. Rhaney and a second suspect approached Brian Crawford as he exited the mall and was attempting to get into his vehicle, according to State Attorney Bill Eddins. The second suspect held Crawford at gunpoint while Rhaney robbed Crawford of his merchandise, watch, and cell phone. When Crawford did not have any cash to give the men, they decided to take his car.
The next day Pensacola Police Officer Bruce Harris saw the car driving south on 9th Avenue by the mall. He and another officer got behind the vehicle and attempted to pull it over. Rhaney, who was driving the stolen car, led officers on a 10 minute pursuit through Pensacola. Eventually officers were able to stop the car and take Rhaney into custody. Rhaney was then identified as one of the robbers by Crawford.

Good job Jodge Geeker!
Another roach off the street.
Agree with “conflicted” If you see 1 roach there is 100 you don’t see.
This is the result of people feeling ENTITLED to live the good life even if they don’t work for it. Earning one’s own way keeps people honest. This young man will learn a lot about entitlement in prison when the bigger and older guys feel entitled to him. i truly feel sorry for him but feel sorrier for the victim. judge Geeker did his job and i applaud him for it.
What about the other suspect???? He had the gun!!
Abrykin,
Sadly there will be five more to take his place.
Good.Another one off the streets
