Drug deal turns into attempted robbery; two in custody
State Attorney Steve Meadows announces the arrest of two Pensacola men on
charges that they attempted to rob a police informant after negotiating a
drug deal.
Cordaryl Leggs, BM, 05/12/1989, 711 Underwood Avenue, Pensacola, and David
Lee Hicks, BM 07/23/1988, 1727 Grayton Road, Pensacola, were charged with
attempted armed robbery and unlawful use of a communications device.
The complaint alleges that the two negotiated for the sale of 550 Ecstacy
tablets for $4300.00 and drove from Pensacola only to attempt to rob the
police informant.
Investigators of the State Attorney’s Office and the Bay County Sheriff’s
Office were involved in the investigation and the arrests. Each defendant is
charged with being in possession of a handgun at the time of the offense.
Leggs and Hicks will be taken before a Bay County judge for first
appearance. Arraignment dates will be set at that time.
