BIRMINGHAM — A Center Point man is in Jefferson County Jail after allegedly robbing a person in the parking lot of Walgreens in the 2300 block of Center Point Road.
At about 8 p.m. Sunday, deputies responded to a robbery call, where a 40-year-old male victim reported that he’d been at the Redbox outside Walgreens when a white male approached him, pointed a gun at him and demanded his wallet.
After he gave him the wallet the suspect ran to a gold pickup truck and drove away, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. The victim was able to get a good description of the vehicle, which was broadcast to other deputies in the area. A short time later the suspect vehicle was spotted on Chalkville Mountain Road by a patrol deputy.
A traffic stop was conducted. The victim’s wallet, identified by a Superman logo, was found in the truck along with a toy handgun. The driver was taken back to the store where he was positively identified.
Robert Cameron Hubbard, 30, of Center Point was arrested and charged with first-degree robbery. He remains in jail with bond set at $30,000.
