Escambia Man Gets Life In Prison For Liquor Store Robbery
January 31, 2012
An Escambia County man was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole Monday for the robbery of a Publix Liquor State early last year.
In December, Clifford Faust, Jr. was convicted by an Escambia County Jury of one count of armed robbery with a firearm. Judge Terry Terrell found that Faust qualified as a prison releasee reoffender based on the fact that was released from prison on grand theft and larceny charges just three months before the robbery.
On February 26, 2011, Faust entered the Publix Liquor Store on Mobile Highway, produced a handgun, and demanded money. After taking the money from the clerk, Faust fled the store on foot. After seeing photos of the surveillance video in the media a family member called law enforcement and identified Faust as the perpetrator.
Faust was identified by eyewitness testimony as well as DNA from cigarette butts located outside of the store.

REGARDING:
My second post SHOULD have explained “my beef”.”
Your second post was posted before my first post and came up after it.
You wrote: “This clown gets LIFE for robbing a liquor store.”
Since life is the maximum allowed sentence where he didn’t kill, you seem opposed to his sentence. That would certainly imply you thought the punishment too harsh. Further, by saying he robbed a liquor store rather than robbed a person working at a liquor store, you seemed to imply people working in such places weren’t as important as real people.
AND
“What if Alexander was 18, would that 33.5 years be appropriate?”
Nope, but he isn’t so the question doesn’t come into play, just as if he had done it at the age of 13 doesn’t come into play because he wasn’t. This is where the word “moot” actually fits.
AND
“Three counts of sexual battery with great force, burglary of a dwelling with a battery, and aggravated battery with great bodily harm done to one of your loving roommates, is that OK by you?”
Nope, I think what he did was bad and the punishment good. His future roommates will likely enjoy his company, though.

My second post SHOULD have explained “my beef”. Where exactly did I express opposition to the liquor store sentence? Let me help, NOWHERE. So your last ramblings are moot. As for your other justification, just a bit ridiculous.
What if Alexander was 18, would that 33.5 years be appropriate? He would only be 51 or 52 if he served all the time, plenty of time to repeat. Three counts of sexual battery with great force, burglary of a dwelling with a battery, and aggravated battery with great bodily harm done to one of your loving roommates, is that OK by you?
I’m done here.
REGARDING:
“three counts of sexual battery with great force, burglary of a dwelling with a battery, and aggravated battery with great bodily harm. GETS 33.5 YEARS.
This clown gets LIFE for robbing a liquor store.”
When a 58 year old finishes serving a 33.5 year prison sentence, he will be 91 or 92. He’ll probably be harmless by then, assuming he lives that long. Staph infections in prisons kill many, fellow prisoners kill a few either intentionally or via communicable diseases, assorted illnesses associated with aging kill most.
The Supreme Court forbids death sentences when nobody is killed, so this is probably as good as it gets.
I’m also a bit confused as to your opposition to giving a life sentence to a repeat felon using a weapon in the commission of a robbery. He’s proven himself dangerous and unwilling to reform. Unless you think he should be allowed to commit armed robbery when the victim is somebody working in a liquor store, I don’t see where your beef is there either.
David for loving roommates
horay for the system! 1 down countless more to go…..
What’s my beef? I do not believe a person that commits such a horrendous crime as Alexander should ever set foot outside of prison again. That is not a beef, but a belief.
Whats your beef? EJ sound like justice was done in both cases to me
very smart! NOT
Alvin Alexander, 58, was found guilty by an Escambia County jury in September 2011 on three counts of sexual battery with great force, burglary of a dwelling with a battery, and aggravated battery with great bodily harm. GETS 33.5 YEARS.
This clown gets LIFE for robbing a liquor store.
And they call it justice.
