Investigators: Three Arrests End Two County Robbery String
June 24, 2013
Investigators believe a string of convenience store robberies has come to an end with the arrests of three people early Sunday morning.
Just before 4 a.m. Sunday, the Circle K in the 3400 block of Barrancas Avenue was robbed. Deputies arrived as the suspects fled from the store; the trio was taken into custody without incident.
Damascus Isaiah Williams, 20, Maurice Pettus, II, 35, and Julius Lamar Scott, 35, were booked into the Escambia County Jail on charges of robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, grand theft and possession of firearm by a convicted felon. Additional charges are pending, investigators said.
Bond for Williams and Pettus was initially set at $190,000. Scott is being held with no bond due to an outstanding probation violation warrant.
Escambia and Santa Rosa Sheriff’s investigators believe the suspects were involved in multiple prior armed robberies in both counties in recent weeks.

some one must have given them some tips. but that didnt stop
these people from using stupity. they still got caught.
Keep them off our streets. so we can sleep better knowing
we safe from people like them. I work hard for ever dollar I
make as does the people they were holding up.
It plane to see these men dont want a job and be producted
there, issues run deep so clean up our streets. give them a 9 by6
cell.
chris1: You are SO right! The “law of the jungle” is getting more and more prominent, so that calls for more measures of self preservation. Gotta protect yourselves and loved ones because no one else seems to be able to keep these vermin off of the streets. Ever see the movie “Escape from New York”? Maybe something like that walled in city should be considered and just let them kill each other off instead of killing law abiding citizens.
Well, they’ll learn better robbery techniques, taught by experienced instructors, at our expense.
Concealed carry. Practice at the range. Be alert.
Very Scary!
Enjoy your time away guys…good to get these guys off the streets…just a matter of time before someone gets killed
They’re all dregs of society and need to be sent away for a long time. They have no place around decent honest people.
