On August 24, 2009 at approximately 10:40 p.m. officers were dispatched to the area of Locust Lane in Westminster for the report of an armed robbery which had just occurred. Upon arrival they contacted the victim, Jose Gomez, who is the owner of the Lilly’s Mexican Mart located at 39 East Main Street. Mr. Gomez reported that he, his wife and 5-year old son had closed the business and were walking through Locust Lane on the way to their vehicle when the robbery occurred.

According to Gomez, they were approached from behind by a white male who threatened them with a knife and demanded their money. Mr. Gomez turned over his cash at which time the suspect fled on foot toward Main Street. Gomez described the suspect as a tall slender white male with short hair and a prominent nose. The suspect was also wearing distinctive clothing the time of the robbery.

Another officer working at the time of the robbery recognized the suspect description as an individual he had encountered earlier in the evening. A photo array was prepared and the victim ultimately identified the suspect, Ronald Lee Foy, 27 years of age of Westminster, as the individual who robbed him. Officers located Foy on foot on West Main Street at approximately 1:20 a.m. and took him into custody without incident. The currency taken in the robbery was subsequently recovered on his person.

In a post-arrest interview, Mr. Foy made several statements implicating him in the robbery. He has subsequently been charged with armed robbery, theft and related charges. He is currently incarcerated in the Carroll County Detention Center in lieu of a $50,000.00 bond.
