Two Tampa men were ar- rested Tuesday and charged with several crimes. They are accused of robbing a gas station in Ruskin and shooting at a store clerk while on Interstate 75.
According to the Hillsbor- ough County Sheriff’s Office, the incident began with the theft of cigarettes at the Race- Trac Service Station, 3105 Col- lege Avenue.

Later, the clerk was on her way home and recognized the car from the robbery earlier. She obtained the license plate number of the vehicle while driving on Interstate 75.

The clerk notified police and deputies found the vehicle at the Allegro Palms Apartment

Police said the vehicle was stolen during a carjacking that had taken place on November 11th. Deputies also recovered two firearms from the vehicle, one of which had been reported stolen during a vehicle burglary reported on June 17th.
Atkins was charged with robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, dis- charging a firearm from a vehi- cle, being a felon in possession of a firearm, grand theft, and violation of parole, among other charges. He also had an out-of-county warrant issued for his arrest.
