Sanders gets 90 days for Delta holdup
A local woman will spend 90 days behind bars for robbing her former employer last year.
The defendant, Patricia Ann Sanders, 22, was sentenced to serve 90 days of a four-year sentence by Circuit Court Judge Charles Haston on the charge of robbery. The balance of her sentence, after the required 90 days in jail, will be served on supervised probation.
Lawmen say Sanders made off with around $200 after robbing Delta Express Market located on Beersheba Street. Sanders, who had recently left employment at Delta, committed the robbery despite the fact the clerk she robbed knew her identity and tried to talk her out of going through with the heist. Sanders, who was not wearing a mask or disguise, had her hand underneath her shirt and claimed she had a gun. Officers doubt Sanders had a gun.
Sanders was taken into custody minutes after the heist when officers found her at her apartment, eating a Taco Bell dinner they believe she purchased with some of the money taken in the robbery.
