Would-be robber gets a big surprise
A dramatic robbery caught on video tape… now the would-be robber is in custody of local law enforcement officers.
Tuesday night at a Grand Bay convenience store, the clerk opens the cash register when suddenly a customer makes a daring move... jumping at the clerk and trying to grab some cash from the register.
But, boy is he in for a surprise! The clerk's husband comes dashing out from the back of the store. It's quite a struggle.
The clerk pulls a gun threatening to shoot, but the determined suspect manages to get away.
It all went down at the Mini-Mart in Grand Bay at the intersection of U.S. Highway 90 and 188.
Sheriff's deputies say after the video aired on NBC 15 News, they started getting phone calls alerting them to the suspect's identity. Timothy Lamar Carey, taken into custody at his home in Coden, is charged with Robbery - 3rd degree. Carey is 19 years old and currently on probation for another robbery. Officials say he has a history of arrests for drugs and domestic violence.
The Mobile County Sheriff's Department expressed appreciation to the public for their assistance in identifying Carey as the suspect seen in the convenience store surveillance tape.
