Montgomery AL June 18 2020
A Montgomery man is accused of aiding another in a theft at a convenience store that ended with a security guard stabbed.
According to court records, English Antron Scott, 42, and a co-defendant went to the store in the 2700 block of Highland Avenue about 1:15 a.m. Sunday.
Scott “knew that his co-defendant was going to commit a theft at the listed location, agreed to participate and assisted with fleeing the scene, ” according to his charging documents.
During the incident, a security guard attempted to intervene and stop the theft.
“The co-defendant produced a knife and cut the security guard,” according to court records.
The two fled the scene immediately after, according to Scott’s court records.
A warrant was issued for Scott’s arrest Tuesday evening minutes before he was formally charged with first-degree robbery. He was booked into the Montgomery County Detention Facility with a $45,000 bond.
