HEROIN HIGHWAY TO HELL: Cops say junkie James Barry Brumfield Thompson II rounded up in heist of Sunoco station

FREDERICK, MD. – It takes a tough bandit to rob a gas station market and that is exactly what happened on Lincoln’s Birthday. Or, maybe all it takes is a junkie who jumps off the wagon of rehab and takes a gun to town to threaten an innocent clerk at the point of the barrel to gain more moola for his next fix – which he won’t have to worry about as he is in the kind of rehab that he can’t leave voluntarily – he is in the slammer.

The aforementioned robbery took place on February 9th, 2019, at a Sunoco market as reported by Frederick County Sheriff’s Department who said that deputies responded to an armed robbery of the gas station located at 9630 Main Street in Myersville.

Deputies report that the robber didn’t need a gun in this holdup, as he was armed with a box cutter when he entered the market at the Sunoco and demanded money from the clerk.

The suspect was described as a white male, approximately 6 feet tall, weighing 250-300 lbs, with short brown hair with a large bald spot on the back of his head, as was shown on the store video and later released to the public by police.

The surveillance video still shots showed the box-cutter-wielding desperado was wearing a brown sweatshirt, red undershirt, light blue jeans, black and white shoes, and a red handkerchief or rag tied around his face exposing only his eyes and above.

Police say Thompson was aggressive when confronting store clerk with a box cutter – clerk saw his point and gave him the cash!
