Spies pointed a loaded handgun at a cashier Sept. 30 at the Point Liquor and Tobacco Store, 3221 Center Point Rd. NE, while demanding she give him money from the register, according to a criminal complaint.
Spies admitted to investigators he planned the robbery with an accomplice, Dekheary V. Steele, 28, of Chicago, Ill., and was armed with a loaded Springfield XD 9 mm handgun, according to court records.
Spies fled from the store in a vehicle Steele was driving, the complaint states.
A judge previously moved the Spies’ case from juvenile court to district court because it was a violent crime involving a weapon.
