TRUSSVILLE — The accomplice of two suspects charged in the March 19 robbery of the Chevron gas station on Chalkville Mountain Road in Trussville has now been charged.
Trussville Police Department Capt. Jeff Bridges said a warrant for first-degree robbery has been signed on 20-year-old Katerra Shain Howard, of Center Point. Bridges said her bond will be set at $30,000 and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will pick her up “when she recovers enough.”
At about 4 a.m. March 19, the Chevron was robbed at gunpoint. Arrested were 19-year-old Roderick Williams, of Center Point, along with 22-year-old Paulet Williams, also from Center Point. The two are not related. Both were charged with first-degree robbery.
During the robbery, Roderick Williams possessed a .380-caliber pistol, which was discharged, striking Howard in her chest, Bridges said. The suspects dropped Howard off at St. Vincent’s East, Bridges said.
No one else was injured. Trussville police officers apprehended the Williams suspects attempting to flee the hospital a short time after the robbery.
Bridges said three guns and the stolen money — approximately $125 — were recovered.
