Police: Suspect Learns To Look For The Cops Before Robbing A Business

February 7, 2014

Police say a drugstore robbery suspect learned a valuable lesson early Thursday morning — look around for the cops before you try to rob a  business.

Pensacola Police said 21-year old Scott Eldon Donaldson entered the CVS on North Ninth Avenue about 7:30 a.m. and handed a note to employees that demanded narcotics and indicated that he had a firearm.

Then Donaldson noticed the drive-up window — and Officer Mike Cyr in a marked police cruiser.  Cyr was on his way to work and had stopped to pick up a prescription.

After spotting the officer, Donaldson fled the business and got into a vehicle parked nearby.

Cyr was the drive-up window when the call was dispatched to officers, and Detective Jeff Brown responded from an off duty post at Wal-mart on Creighton Road. Within about two minutes, Cyr and Brown stopped Donaldson on Creighton Road just east of the CVS.

He was taken into custody and charged with armed robbery. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $1 million.
