An Effingham man has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison for robbing a Florence County business, U.S. Attorney W. Walter Wilkins said in a press release.
Darrin Marcus Davis, 23, has been sentenced to 86 months in prison.
On July 24, 2008, Davis stole gas from the Raider Station on North Pamplico Highway in Pamplico. After leaving that business, he drove to the Midway Grill on Pamplico Highway and robbed the clerk at gunpoint.
While Davis was robbing the Midway Grill, a with the Florence County sheriff’s investigator saw Davis’ car in the parking lot and recognized it as matching the description of the vehicle involved in the earlier crime. When deputies approached Davis as he was leaving the Midway Grill, he resisted arrest and tried to run but was taken into custody.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Rose Mary Parham of the Florence office prosecuted the case, which also was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
