PANAMA CITY — Two West Virginia women wanted for parts they played in an armed robbery and shooting in their home state have been arrested after being found in a Panama City motel.
Police had been looking for Telisa McCauley, 22, and Alisyn Proctor, 19, in connection with an Aug. 14 armed robbery of the Kanawha City Foodland in West Virginia. A 44-year-old female clerk was shot in the exchange, and the two women were believed to be in the getaway car that helped the suspected gunmen flee the scene.
At the time of their arrest, McCauley and Proctor had a large amount of cash on them, suspected to be part of the take from the robbery, police said.
McCauley and Proctor were staying in room 16 of the Star Motel at 836 Harrison Ave. where U.S. Marshals arrested them at about 8 p.m. Tuesday on charges of being fugitives from justice. Panama City Police, who assisted in the arrests, said the two were apprehended without incident.
Police said they believe the two women were in the getaway car that took John Proctor III and others from a grocery store after Proctor and a 17-year-old boy held up the West Virgina store. John Proctor, brother of Alisyn Proctor, also is charged with malicious wounding after allegedly shooting the female clerk. A criminal complaint said Alisyn Proctor and McCauley were promised $3,000 for their part in the crime.
West Virginia authorities already have arrested four suspects for a role in the crime, including two juveniles.
Police reported the clerk still was recovering from her injuries Wednesday.
McCauley and Proctor were being held in the Bay County Jail on Wednesday. According to arrest records, the state of West Virginia will extradite the two.
