Man Charged With Armed Robbery of Three Atmore Convenience Stores
October 27, 2017
An Atmore man is charged with three early morning convenience store armed robberies.
James Ronald Marshall, Jr. was jailed on three counts of first degree armed robbery and first degree theft of property. He was booked into the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton.
About 2:18 Wednesday morning, Atmore Police responded to the Circle K convenience store at 325 North Main Street after a suspicious male was seen entering the store wearing a Halloween mask.
The clerk told officers while standing outside the store, a male subject walked up wearing a blue hoodie sweatshirt, blue jeans, boots, and a halloween style mask. The clerk said the male suspect walked into the store but she remained outside because she was scared. The clerk said the male suspect stayed in the store for a few seconds and then walked outside. The clerk told the male suspect that she was calling the police and he shouted an expletive at her as he fled on foot.
While officers were searching for the suspect in the North Main Street area, they were called to another Circle K convenience store at 901 West Nashville Avenue, at approximately 2:35 a.m. in response to an armed robbery. The store clerk said a black male, matching the description of the first robbery suspect, entered store armed with a handgun and demanded cash. The clerk told officers the suspect fled the store after receiving an undisclosed amount of cash.
Then about 4:16 a.m. Atmore Police were notified that an armed robbery had just occurred at the Shell Station located at 1204 East Nashville Avenue. Officers responded and discovered the suspect responsible was the same person from the other stores. According to the clerk, the suspect entered the store armed with a gun and demanded money. The clerk said after receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, the suspect fled the store traveling in a silver truck.
While officers was working the scene at the Shell Station, Atmore Police received a phone call stating a subject driving a silver truck and matching the clothing description given by the clerks had crashed on Sardis Church Road. Officers responded to the crash scene and made contact Marshall.
Police learned at the traffic crash the truck Marshall was driving had been stolen from a residence on Beacon Lane. Marshall was the only occupant in the single vehicle crash. Officers recovered cash, firearms, and some electronics at the scene.
