Taxi Robber Gets 15 Years
October 9, 2012
An Escambia County man has been sentenced to 15 years in state prison for robbing a taxi driver.
Tyree Desmond Lindsey was sentenced Monday by Judge Terry Terrell to 15 years in state prison for his August conviction of robbery of a taxi driver.
On January 14, 2012, Yellow Cab driver Robert Herbst drove the defendant to the area of Pinestead Road. Before exiting the taxi, Lindsey demanded money from Herbst. A second individual who had been waiting in the area pulled a gun on Herbst. According to prosecutors, Herbst handed a bag of money to Lindsey and then the two robbers fled on foot to a nearby home.
After deputies arrived on the scene, a K-9 tracked the suspects to a nearby home. While searching the home, deputies found Lindsey hiding in a bedroom along with the money and the gun from the robbery.
Lindsey was also sentenced to a 15-year concurrent sentence for three counts of sale of cocaine stemming from Operation Anything for a Buck”.
