Man Busted After Labor Day Convenience Store Robbery
September 6, 2011
An Atmore man is charged with the Labor Day robbery of a local convenience store.
Atmore Police say Byron Gray, 33, entered the Fast Lane # 2 (formerly Mom & Pops) on South Main Street about 12:40 Monday afternoon armed with weapon. They say he reached over the counter and took an undisclosed amount of cash from the store clerk, who was not injured.
Gray fled the store north on Main Street in a Dodge Intrepid. He wrecked the vehicle in downtown Atmore at Main and Church streets, running up on a sidewalk and hitting a trash can. He fled on foot, but was captured after a short foot pursuit by police.
The cash and a knife were recovered on Gray’s person at the time of the arrest, Atmore Police said. He was booked into the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton on a charge of first degree robbery.

Byron I would suggest wind sprints, or poetry.
I WONDER HOW HE WOULD FEEL IF IT WERE A FAMILY MEMBER OF HIS THAT GOT ROBBED…..LETS SAY HIS MAMMA, OR A SISTER, OR HIS WIFE…I BET THE STORY WOULD BE A LOT DIFFERENT! THINK BEFORE YOU DO………………THE SHOE COULD BE ON THE OTHER FOOT THE NEXT TIME
i too have had some hard times but never stole or robbed.Drugs are usually involved.
People are desperate…they are everywhere….and there will be more and more
of this happening everyday…hard think about it…but can you imagine in your mind that you think you HAVE TO DO THIS TO SURVIVE…pray I never get there…take me out of here first LORD please
People are getting more desperate everyday. I hope that something happens soon. All this craziness in this world has everyone on guard.I know the owner is a good man and does not deserve this.Shame on this robbery and the individual who commited the crime!
