Two Brothers, Out On Bond, Arrested Again

Mobile police arrest two brothers and an accomplice for robbing the CVS pharmacy on Dauphin Street in Midtown.

Police say Anthomas and Brandon Carr walked into the CVS around 10:00 p.m. Sunday armed with handguns and their faces covered. They demanded money from the cashier. Someone happened to be passing by the pharmacy, saw the robbery in progress, and call 911.

When police arrived, Antonio Brown, the Carr brothers' alleged accomplice, was trying to jump in the getaway car and take off. The Carr brothers ran down Florida Street to Old Shell and tried to hide at the On and On convenience store. Police found Brandon hiding in the bathroom. Anthomas has locked himself in the storeroom.

This is not the Carr brothers first run-in with the law. Both were out on bond for previous crimes.

Anthomas Carr was arrested two months ago outside the Starbucks on Airport Boulevard.

Police say Brandon Carr robbed the Wachovia Bank on Water Street last year and was awaiting trial for the June 2006 robbery of the Carmike 10 theaters on Government.

“We are very disappointed and concerned that violent individuals like these are released on bond to continue their criminal enterprise,” said Deputy Chief James Barber.

All three men are charged with robbery. They'll be in court tomorrow morning for a bond hearing.

“We plan on seeking the assistance of the judges to prevent these two career criminals from being released,” said Barber.
