January 20, 2013
An Escambia County man was charged with a Saturday morning convenience story robbery, and a Century woman was charged with being an accessory in the crime.
Felipe Samuel Cruz, 46, was charged with the robbery of the Tom Thumb at Saufley Field Road and Blue Angel Parkway just before 8:00 Saturday. Cruz allegedly entered the store, held a knife to the clerk’s throat and demanded cash.
As deputies were arriving on scene, they spotted Cruz running and were able to catch him as he was attempting to enter a Jeep Cherokee Laredo occupied by 29-year old Candida Rose Daw of Whirlpool Road in Century and Summer Kalb.
Cruz was charged with aggravated battery and robbery with bond set at $115,000. Daw and Kalb were booked into the Escambia County Jail. Daw’s bond set at $10,000; Kalb was held without bond.
