U.S. Marshals Confirm Modern Day Bonnie And Clyde As Piggly Wiggly Robbery Suspects
February 4, 2016
CLICK HERE for the latest update to this story.
UPDATE 5:30 p.m.: U.S Marshals have confirmed that a modern day Bonnie and Clyde are suspects in yesterday’s robbery of the Piggly Wiggly in it Davisville.
UPDATE 2:30 p.m.: The FBI has confirmed that Blake Fitzgerald and Brittany Nicole Harper were last seen around 4:45 p.m. Wednesday crossing over from Florida into Alabama driving a black Ford F-150 with a broken window. This sighting confirmed by federal authorities was about five minutes after the robbery of the Piggly Wiggly in Davisville. There has been no official confirmation from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that the couple are suspects in the Piggly Wiggly robbery.
UPDATE 4:45 p.m.: The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that Blake Fitzgerald is a suspect in Wednesday’s armed robbery of the Alvin Island’s store in Destin. The business at 1000 U.S. Highway 98 was robbed at gunpoint shortly after noon. The man was accompanied by a white female who left the store just prior to the holdup.
ORIGINAL STORY:
A couple wanted in connection with a crime spree in Alabama and Georgia may have been responsible for the armed robbery of the Piggly Wiggly on Highway 97 in Davisville, FL, Wednesday afternoon.
Employees said a white male walked into the store about 4:40 p.m., pulled back his shirt to show a gun and escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash. He reportedly fled along with a female in a black Ford F-150 pickup truck with a busted-out window. They were chased briefly by a store employee north on Highway 97 across the state line into Atmore. There were no injuries reported.
According to store employees, the couple was clearly Blake Fitzgerald and Brittany Nicole Harper, both age 31 of Joplin, MO. Employees said deputies showed them photographs of the couple from a law enforcement bulletin, and it was a certain match.
As of late Thursday morning, a spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said they have not confirmed the identities of any suspects in the robbery, and their investigation is continuing.
Fitzgerald and Harper are wanted for an armed robbery and kidnapping at a gas station about 30 miles outside Macon, GA, about 11 p.m. Monday. They were last seen southbound on I-75 in a stolen silver 2010 Ford Edge.
They are also wanted for robbing and abducting a hotel clerk in Tuscaloosa, attempting to rob a McDonald’s manager across from a Birmingham mall, and kidnapping woman and stealing her SUV in Vestavia Hills, AL. outside of Birmingham. The kidnapped woman was released unharmed by the couple outside of an emergency room.
The hotel clerk in Tuscaloosa told authorities that the couple said they were headed to Florida, possibly Panama City, to get married, according to published reports.
The U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force is offering a total of $10,000 for the couple’s capture on charges from Alabama and Georgia.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Fitzgerald or Harper should call their local law enforcement agency immediately. They are armed and dangerous and should not be confronted by anyone but law enforcement, according to the FBI.

One More Show: Tate Drama Presents ‘Brigadoon’ This Afternoon
January 31, 2016
There is one more chance Sunday afternoon to see the Tate High School Drama Department production of “Brigadoon”. The show will be at 2:30 p.m. in the school cafetorium; tickets are $7 at the door.
Brigadoon tells the story of American tourists Tommy and Jeff who get lost on vacation in Scotland and stumble into Brigadoon, a mythical village that appears for only one day every 100 years. No outsider can stay in Brigadoon unless they fall in love, and no resident can ever leave or the village will vanish forever.
But when Tommy falls for a village girl, he is forced to choose between returning to the world that he knows—or taking a chance on life and love in the mysterious Brigadoon.
The stage play became a popular MGM movie starring Gene Kelly, Van Johnson, and Cyd Charisse. The Tate Drama Department is presenting a full-staged musical for the 19th straight season.
