Washington Man Enters Guilty Plea In BP Robbery

A Washington man accused of robbing the then BP convenience store on Murtland Avenue in 2017 pleaded guilty on Tuesday. Darnell Brown II, 23 pleaded guilty to felony robbery and firearms possession charges and a misdemeanor receiving stolen property charge. Brown entered the convenience store in November of 2017 wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and pointed a gun at an attendant, robbing her of $269. It took until September of 2021 for DNA tests on the mask to determine that Brown was the culprit. Brown will spend the next 3½ to 7 years in state prison. Because of the structure of the plea deal he will spend two years on probation after his release. Brown will also pay $269 in restitution.
