Man Faces Life For Robbing Six Outside Mexican Restaurant
October 27, 2015
An Escambia County man is facing up to life in prison for holding up six people outside a Mexican restaurant.
Tolland Bonner was convicted of one count of robbery with a firearm, five counts of attempted robbery with a firearm, one count of aggravated battery while in possession of a firearm, six counts of aggravated assault, one count of fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer, and one count of resisting an officer without violence.
On January 6, 2015 Bonner held up six victims standing outside the Los Rancheros Mexican Restaurant on Plantation Drive. Bonner fled the scene and was pursued by one of the victims until law enforcement joined the chase. Bonner eventually stopped his car on the side of the road and ran into a residential area in which he resided. Law enforcement later discovered that the vehicle was registered to Bonner and his passenger also identified Bonner. Furthermore, two of the victims identified Bonner in a photo lineup.
Circuit Judge Ross Goodman scheduled sentencing for November 18. Bonner faces the possibility of life in state prison with a 70 year mandatory minimum sentence. This means that Bonner will be required to serve 70 years in state prison without the possibility of gain time or parole.
Bonner was convicted of six robberies in 2003.

MY SON WAS THE ONE WITH THE GUN IN HIS FACE. I HOPE THIS LOW LIFE GETS EXACTALLY WHAT HE DESERVES. 70 YEARS….SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. ENJOY YOUR STAY BONNER!!!
Have eaten at Los Rancheros in the evenings with family and on many occasions have seen what the kids call “Sketchy” individuals wandering around and some females busy with cell phones. None of that makes them suspicious I am sure yet there is that uneasy feeling up mine and my lady’s backbones that keeps us looking around between vehicle and restaurant.
Others have cautioned of “activities” in the area so we no longer go to the restaurant. Just part of being watchful and responsible for ourselves.
Obviously a career criminal – with past offenses he meets all the requirements to get the big enchilada – put him away judge.
Trash off the street… Hope he finds Jesus or else his life will have been for nought. State raising him now, state raising his children… Keep up the good work state!
