Sapulpa Dollar General Robbed at Gunpoint

Trentin Anton Richardson, 20, of Beggs, stood before a federal court Tuesday, facing the consequences of his actions. Richardson pleaded guilty to one count of robbery and another count of discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence.

According to the evidence presented, Richardson used a Ruger semi-automatic pistol to rob a Dollar General in Sapulpa on June 4, 2020. He entered the store wearing a mask and gloves, locked the door, fired one round into the ceiling, and ordered everyone inside to get on the ground. He then took money from the register and safe along with money and cell phones belonging to customers.

Patrons of the store feared for their lives as Richardson brandished his firearm. His actions demonstrate a complete disregard for human safety and the well-being of others.

The investigation into the robbery was a collaborative effort between the Sapulpa Police Department, Creek County Sheriff’s Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard M. Cella is prosecuting the case.

U.S. Attorney Trent Shores commented on the guilty plea, stating, “The Justice system is reducing violent crime here in Tulsa and all across America. We’re doing that through our partnerships with local and federal law enforcement. Armed robber Trentin Richardson made a bad decision when he robbed a local store and discharged a gun in the process. Patrons feared for their lives. Now, he is facing the consequence for his actions.”

Richardson’s guilty plea is a significant step towards holding him accountable for his crimes. The court will now determine the extent of his punishment, which could include a lengthy prison sentence.

The people of Sapulpa can now feel a sense of justice being served, knowing that the individual responsible for the heinous crime will face the full weight of the law.
