Century Resident Busted After Convenience Store Robbery
December 5, 2013
A former Century resident was quickly arrested for the robbery of a Gulf Beach Highway convenience store.
Troy Anthony Smith, Jr. 23, was charged with the robbery of the Circle K at 2700 Gulf Beach Highway.
Smith, who was known to the clerk, came into the store and asked for change for a twenty. As the clerk made change, Smith grabbed cash from the register, a struggle followed and Smith ran out of the store. The clerk said she knew the robbery suspect as a regular customer named “Troy” and that he was living in a trailer park not far from the store. She provided a detail description of the suspect, and surveillance included a prominent scar or scab on his face.
As a K-9 was conducting a search, a deputy spotted Smith on Bainbridge Avenue and he was taken into custody without incident.
Smith provided a Freedom Road, Century address when he was booked into the Escambia County Jail. He remained jailed with bond set at $16,000.

First rule of robbery. Never rob a store where they know you by name.
Yep, it definitely looks like he’s busted.
