News Release (March 5, 2018)

Major David Harper of the Madison County Sheriff’s Office reports that on Sunday, March 4, 2018, at 1:18 a. m., deputies were dispatched to Jimmies Auto Plaza located at 3167 S.E. CR. 255 in response to a Robbery that had just occurred.

Upon arrival the clerk reported that a white male entered the business and approached the counter demanding money while implying that he was armed with a gun. The clerk complied with the demand and allowed the offender to access the cash register before fleeing with an undetermined amount of currency.

Responding deputies secured the scene and established a perimeter. A canine was deployed and immediately began a track that led deputies in a southwest direction before crossing Highway 255. The canine continued to track south along the highway for approximately 250 yards before abruptly stopping at a location that showed signs of an unknown vehicle rapidly accelerating from the ditch onto the highway. It is believed that this was the location of an awaiting getaway vehicle.

The offender is described as a white male wearing a camouflage jacket with a hood, dark colored baggy pants, and covering his face with a white paper object with eye holes cut out. The clerk was not harmed and there were no other injuries reported during this event.

This case remains under investigation and if anyone has any information regarding this Robbery you are asked to contact the Madison County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division at (850) 973-4152 or (850) 973-4001 extension 1.
