Two women rob Bristol store with fake gun
BRISTOL, Tenn. --
It was an armed robbery – but it wasn’t a real gun.
An airsoft shotgun was found in the getaway car after a woman held up a Weaver Pike convenience store earlier this week, police said.
The cash she took from the teller, handed over the counter at fake gunpoint, still hasn’t been retrieved, but the gun, the bandana, the hat and the shirt she apparently used in the robbery was, said Capt. Charlie Thomas with the Bristol Tennessee Police Department. All of the items were taken as evidence, he said.
Thomas said that fortunately, there aren’t many armed robberies in the city, but in his experience, it is sort of common for the guns to turn out to be fake ones.
“But I wouldn’t trust my life that a robber had a fake gun,” he said.
This time, however, it was, he said, and no one was injured in the robbery.
The pair of women who were found in the escape car remained in jail Tuesday afternoon.
Latoya Lavera Campbell, 26, and Ashley Deeon Wallace, 24, both of the same Buckner Street, Bristol, Va. address, were charged with aggravated robbery, a class B felony, according to a written statement from the Bristol Tennessee Police Department.
According to the statement, a woman went into the Kwik Stop Market on Weaver Pike and demanded cash from the clerk about 4: 30 p.m. Monday. The woman then left the store in a Kia, which was driven by another woman.
“We had a citizen who saw somebody run from the store and got the tag number,” Thomas said. Officers were able to track down the car with the help of the Bristol Virginia Police Department, Thomas said.
Both women told police they had played a part in the robbery, the statement said. Campbell said she was the one who took the cash from the clerk, and Wallace told police she drove the car.
He said the women had not before been arrested in Bristol, Tenn.
According to Virginia online court records, however, Campbell has a pending misdemeanor assault charge against her, and was found guilty of several traffic violations earlier this year. Wallace has an unauthorized use of vehicle charge and two misdemeanor assault charges against her – in all three, Campbell is listed as the complainant. Wallace is not the complainant in Campbell’s assault charges.
Both women face charges in Bristol, Va., of being a fugitive from justice, and remain in the Bristol, Va. jail.
