54-year-old Willie Scott is now facing first-degree robbery charges after investigators say he robbed Randall’s Wines & Spirits in North County.
According to investigators, the robbery happened on May 18 at the liquor store located in the 11000 block of Old Halls Ferry Road. Police say Scott entered the business wearing a mask covering his face, pointed what appeared to be a handgun at employees, and demanded money from the register.
Court documents state employees handed over around $800 in cash before the suspect left the scene.
Investigators later identified Scott through surveillance footage and say he eventually admitted to committing the robbery after being taken into custody. Detectives also reportedly recovered clothing connected to the robbery and the apparent handgun during a search of his home.
Scott is currently being held on a $150,000 cash-only bond.
Man… times are hard, but risking your freedom over a liquor store robbery is wild. Glad nobody was physically hurt during the incident.
