Robert Daniel Webb

Ellensburg, Washington–Have you seen this guy? If you do, please do me a favor and give him a good bitch-slap…then call the cops. Robert Daniel Webb, 42, is wanted for armed robbery in Washington. On Tuesday, he robbed an AM/PM mini-mart of about $200. That isn’t what landed him here at the Dreamin’ Demon. He’s here because he had his 9-year-old daughter with him.

At about 3:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, Webb entered the store with his daughter, Meadow. He approached the counter, whipped out a gun, and demanded money. Eric Owens, the AM/PM clerk, said he could see the girl looking confused and frightened. Meanwhile, Webb is going on about how he was fired from his job and his daughter needed medical care. ‘His eyes were tearing up. This guy’s hurting inside,’ said Owens. Owens complied with Webb’s demands and handed the money over. Webb and his daughter left the store without further incident.

Webb is described as 6-foot-2, 245 pounds, brown eyes and brown hair. He was driving a 2008 Silver Toyota Corolla license plate 602-XQG. Meadow, is 3 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 50 pounds. She has shoulder-length dark hair and was wearing a pink coat in the robbery video. Although authorities do not believe Webb is a direct threat to his daughter, they are concerned that his actions may place her in danger. They were last seen in Yakima around 5:30 Wednesday evening. Webb’s wife is cooperating with the investigation.

Eric Owens says his empathy only goes so far. ‘I’ve been homeless. My son and I have lived on the streets in Seattle. I know what hard is, but resorting to crime is not the solution.’ I second that.

Anyone with information on Webb or the robbery is asked to please call the Kittias County Sheriff’s Office at 509-925-8534.
