Two men from St. Louis have admitted participating in the armed robbery of a store in St. Louis last year.
Orlando Perez, 37, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in St. Louis to accessory after the fact to a robbery.
Jason Fox, 39, pleaded guilty on September 10 to one count of possession and brandishing of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
Both men admitted that Fox robbed the store in the 3700 block of South Kingshighway Boulevard on Jan. 20, 2023. Fox brought merchandise to the counter, then produced a handgun and demanded “all the money from the registers.”
The robber also stole video games and two Xbox consoles. Police traced the robber to a nearby shopping centre, where they caught Perez with the keys to the vehicle used for the robbery, as well as cash and ammunition.
The stolen merchandise was in the backseat of the car, and Fox was arrested nearby. Perez had 3.54 grams of methamphetamine in his pocket and admitted owning the gun.
Fox is scheduled to be sentenced on December 9, and Perez is scheduled to be sentenced on January 6.
