Federal Court Jury Convicts Two in Failed Hold-Up
Posted on Sep 15, 2011
Two men were convicted today in Richmond federal court for a violent attempted robbery at a Caroline County truck stop that left a good Samaritan with multiple gunshot wounds.
A U.S. District Court jury deliberated about three hours before returning early that afternoon with guilty verdicts against Winston Sylvester Oliver II and Warren Harold "Fleet" Brown on all eight charges they faced in a trial that began Monday. Judge James R. Spencer could sentence the two Richmond-area residents to up to life in prison for their convictions on federal firearm, conspiracy and attempt-to-commit-robbery charges.
Authorities said Oliver was the getaway driver and Brown the trigger man in a failed attempt to rob the Mr. Fuel Truck Plaza off Interstate 95 in Caroline County's Ruther Glen area on May 8, 2010, about 9:30 p.m.
Store security video of the robbery try was widely disseminated on the Internet and showed Theodore Donald Edmund Jr., a U.S. Marine Corps and Vietnam War veteran, trying to stop the robber by smashing a beer bottle on his head. Edmund, who was shot in the head, shoulder, groin and buttocks but recovered from his injuries, testified Monday.
Danielle Oliver, Winston Oliver's estranged wife, testified Tuesday that she unwittingly gave her husband information that would lead him to plan the robbery after she got a job as a cashier at the truck plaza in November 2008. She said her husband was especially interested in finding out that the cash registers at Mr. Fuel were not routinely cleared out at regular intervals, resulting in several thousand dollars accumulating in relatively short order.
Over the next several years, Danielle Oliver testified, her husband became fixated on trying to rob the truck plaza.
