Escambia Man Charged With Midday Tom Thumb Robbery
June 7, 2015
An Escambia County man has been charged with robbing a Tom Thumb midday Saturday.
Antonio Collins, 32 was arrested around 5:30 p.m. Saturday after he turned himself in at police headquarters. Pensacola Police Detective Cliff Lyster said Collins was charged with robbery.
The incident occurred around Saturday at the Tom Thumb, 1290 Airport Blvd. A 29-year-old female cashier told Officer Hank Wells she was waiting on a customer when the Collins went behind the counter, got behind her and threatened to hurt her if she didn’t give him money. The clerk opened the register and the suspect took an undisclosed amount of cash before leaving the business toward the Sam’s Club parking lot.
Collins managed to convince a man in the Sam’s Club parking lot to give him a ride after he said his sister had left him there. But as they were leaving, the man noticed police vehicles arriving in the area and began thinking something was wrong.
The man dropped the suspect off in the area of Airport and Pensacola boulevards and returned to the convenience store where he reported what happened to police.
