Suspect In Mars Shaved Ice Robbery In Custody In Etowah County

According to Centre Police Chief Kirk Blankenship, Chief Investigator Randy Mayorga was able to identify and obtain an arrest warrant on one of the male suspects involved in the Armed Robbery that took place at Mars Shaved Ice last Wednesday.

Mayorga said that multiple agencies in Etowah County have experienced a rash of robberies in the past months where 2-3 individuals would rob the business. Mars was previously robbed in the Gadsden location and it has been determined that the same individuals that were involved that robbery were also the same ones involved here in Centre.

Chief Blankenship and Chief Investigator Mayorga would like to extend thanks to surrounding agencies that are currently assisting in the investigation, and to the victim for the assistance that was provided to Chief Investigator Mayorga on this case.

19 year old Erick D. Ransom is currently being held in the Etowah County Detention Center for unrelated charges there and will be transferred over to Cherokee County at a later date.

Chief Blankenship said; “There is still work to be done and rest assure that my investigators will be there working on this case endlessly.”
