Escambia Man Gets 15 Years For Food Mart Burglary

October 8, 2013

An Escambia County man was sentenced to 15 years in state prison Monday for a convenience store burglary.

Clarence Henry received the sentence from Judge Terry Terrell for burglary of a structure while wearing a mask and grand theft. Henry was previously convicted in August by an Escambia County jury.

On June 4, 2013, Henry kicked in a side door at the T & C Food Mart on  the corner of “A” and Cervantes Street. Henry fled with over $300 worth of tobacco products and money.

He had a towel wrapped around  his head to conceal his identity. The towel was located about a block  away from the food mart and had blood on it. Blood was also found on the broken glass from the point of entry of the door. DNA analysis linked  them both to Clarence Henry.

The store clerk recognized Henry from the surveillance video for being in the store earlier that day and identified him from a photo lineup.
