Suspect in father-daughter robbery identified | KOMO News – Seattle, Washington | Local & Regional

Sherrifs deputies say they have identified a man suspected of robbing convenience store at gunpoint with his 9-year-old daughter at his side.

Kittitas County Undersheriff Clayton Myers said phone tips from people who saw the story on the news helped investigators identify the man as 42-year-old Robert Daniel Webb.

The robbery that prompted the investigation occurred at the AM/PM Mini Mart just off I-90 at exit 101 around 3 a.m. Tuesday.

Myers said the man believed to be Webb approached the counter, drew a gun and demanded money from the register. The clerk complied and the man then left with the little girl, without further incident.

    I’m gonna take a wild guess and say he wasn’t thinking.

    I think he’s ellegible for food stamps

    #2 That he was a suicide bomber. She should take it as if she was Muslim. After all, she’s just a small woman.

    I like the transaction detail on the video. Pretty cool.

  16. newglenn says:

    Brilliant! The clerk isn’t gonna do anything to endanger the child. She is, in fact, a hostage.

    #10 John Paradox wins.

  17. Buckwheat says:

    The real question is – in which states would the daughter also be charged as an accomplice as opposed to the victim/hostage that she really was?

  18. Rob says:

    #18, that would be the City of NY, where a car jacking victim was charged by the DA with aiding in the jackers attempted escape as she was driving the vehicle (mid nineties IIRC)
