(From the Aurora-Marionville Police Department)On 9-30-2023 late in the evening, a masked assailant entered the Casey’s in Marionville armed with a handgun. On camera, they are seen going behind the counter and taking vape supplies before being seen by staff. A brief struggle ensued which other customers joined in to help with.
Ultimately, AMPD arrived and took 18 year old Nickolas Justice into custody for the robbery. It was also discovered the handgun he possessed was reported stolen out of a nearby jurisdiction. It was collected and is in police custody. Justice is currently held at the Lawrence County Jail. He is innocent until proven guilty.
This is still an active investigation.
It is a blessing no one was hurt during this incident. Like it or not, Missouri is a constitutional carry state. When a criminal masks themselves and enters an establishment armed, there is a real risk of someone in the store being armed as well. This could have ended in death. If you’re living a lifestyle that would lead to this type of ridiculous behavior, come ask us for help. It may save your life.
