Bank Robbery Suspect From Century Extradited Back To Alabama
May 14, 2012
A Century woman has been extradited back to Alabama to face charges for her alleged role in the February 17 robbery of the Bank of Brewton.
Robin Ann Godwin, 42, was arrested April 12 by FBI agents at a travel trailer on Bluff Springs Road just south of Century. She was booked into Escambia County as a fugitive from justice. In Escambia County Circuit Court, Godwin waived extradition back to Escambia County, Ala., to face a first degree robbery charge.
As FBI agents arrested Godwin in Florida, additional agents converged on a home on Pine Road in Escambia County, Ala. and arrested her father, 75-year old Norman Alvin Godwin, on charges of conspiracy to commit robbery and first degree robbery. He was booked into the Escambia County (Ala.) Detention Center in Brewton.
As they executed search warrants, FBI agents recovered evidence at a both locations, including cash allegedly taken during the Brewton robbery.
On February 17, a single suspect (pictured left) walked into the bank through a public boardwalk entrance at the rear of the building and demanded cash and fled out the same door. Authorities said at the time that they were not sure exactly how the bandit left the area following the robbery, but a few days later they said the bandit may have headed to Florida.
