7-Eleven Armed Robbery Arrest

On December 20, 2008 at approximately 0250 hours, officers with the Frederick Police Department responded to the 7-Eleven store located at 1042 W. Patrick St. for a report of an armed robbery. Video surveillance showed a male wearing a black knit cap, black jacket and blue jeans had entered the store and pushed the clerk behind the counter. While brandishing a knife, the suspect had the clerk open the cash register, where he then removed an undisclosed amount of money. Additionally, the suspect took a quantity of lottery tickets and a pack of cigarettes before fleeing the store on foot. Following a search of the area, the suspect was not immediately located.

Detective Michael Morgan of the Criminal Investigation Division investigated the robbery and was able to identify a possible suspect who was later identified by the clerk as the person who had robbed the business. Before Det. Morgan could apply for criminal charges, officers received a call from the 7-Eleven store early Tuesday morning, 2/10/09, advising the male who had robbed the business was standing outside the establishment. The suspect, identified as Alonzo Joseph Brazzley, age 34 of Queens, NY, was located by officers a short distance away and placed under arrest.

Brazzley was transported to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center and charged with armed robbery, robbery, 1^st degree assault, 2^nd degree assault, and theft less than $500.
