Williams gets 18 years for robbery

CRESTVIEW — Mary Williams is sentenced to 18 years in prison on charges of robbery with a weapon and armed kidnapping with a weapon.

The charges arose from a Dec. 30, 2013 incident in the Crestview area. Williams approached the victim in the Wal-Mart parking lot asking for a ride back into Crestview. As the victim was driving, the defendant produced what later was determined to be a pellet gun and forced the victim to drive to Eglin Federal Credit Union and withdraw money. The defendant then took the money and identification from the victim and fled the scene.
