July 22, 2017

An Escambia County jury found Demeko Sims Guilty of robbery with a firearm. Immediately following the verdict, Judge Joel
Boles sentenced Sims to life in state prison as a prison releasee re-offender.

On October 17, 2015, Sims entered the Happy 7 Food Store on Lillian Hwy in Pensacola wearing a hooded camouflage jacket and patched jeans. Sims robbed the clerk with a black revolver and fled on foot. Store surveillance captured the robbery and showed that Sims was dropped off another person driving a truck.

The truck was later identified and stopped by Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies on November 2, 2015. Sims was the passenger of the truck.

A camouflage jacket was found in his seat and a black revolver was found in the passenger door pocket. A search warrant was executed  at the home Sims was living in which returned the  patched jeans. Later, Sims was interviewed by investigators and confessed to the robbery.
