Escambia Man Arrested For Dollar General Armed Robbery

August 4, 2013

An Escambia  man wanted in connection with the armed robbery of a local business earlier this week has been arrested.

Christopher Clark McWilliams, 24, was arrested Saturday afternoon and charged with armed robbery and grand theft.

McWilliams was wanted for an armed robbery that occurred just after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Dollar General on West Cervantes Street. A 19-year-old female employee told police the suspect entered the store, walked around and acted as if he was talking on his phone. She said he also approached the checkout line and let other people ahead of him until there was no one else in line.

At that point, the suspect approached the register, handed her a bag and pulled up his shirt. He then pointed a gun at her and demanded money. The store employee complied, and McWilliams fled the scene.

    He must have needed the money for a new tatoo.

    You have to be dumb to rob a store.
    You have to be really dumb to rob a store in broad daylight.
    You have to be extra ignorant to rob a store during the daylight hours with so many visible tattoos on your body.
    Take it from me, someone who is covered head to toe in tattoos, “Here’s his sign!”
    I promise you that all tattooed people are not criminals.
    I am 40 years old, covered in tattoos and I have not ever even considered robbing anyone or anywhere!
    This dude needs to be locked down for a long, long time.

    Wonder how he got recognized, especially with all the tat’s would have thought he blended so well.

    It’s probably not a good idea to rob a store with a body full of tattoos for identification. Even if the store clerk couldn’t identify the person she could most likely identify a particular tattoo.

    to “someone” what difference would a man make with a gun in his face?

    61 lines on his rap most with multiple violations 23 of which listed as felony. Why is this Scumbag walking our streets to start with?

    In response to “someone”. The robbery did not happen at night. This was 1:30pm during daylight hours.

    I honestly think that stores at night should only have
    Men older then 20 working at night. Not a 19 year old girl
