Sideman charged in attempted truck robbery
In another crime update, the sideman of a Bowen and Bowen truck has been charged in that truck’s attempted robbery. Twenty-nine year old Edilberto Garcia of Ladyville has been charged with abetment to commit burglary for his role in Thursday’s robbery attempt on the old Northern Highway near Corozalito. When Garcia asked the driver to stop so he could relive himself, a masked gunman emerged from the side of the road and tried to hold up the vehicle. The attack was foiled when the driver sped up and escaped.
