Description
Appellant Rosetta Davis was convicted of aggravated robbery by a jury in Independence County Circuit Court. She was sentenced to twenty-three [ Page 132] years in the Arkansas Department of Correction to be served consecutively with a sentence she was already serving. On appeal, appellant argues that the trial court committed reversible error by failing to grant her motions for directed verdict. We affirm. The facts giving rise to appellant's conviction are as follows. On the evening of September 8, 1999, Tammy Sue Mansfield was working as a cashier at Dugger's Grocery Store. That night, she worked alone from 6:00 until closing at 9:00. Between 9:15 and 9:30, Ms. Mansfield set the alarm, locked the door, and walked to her vehicle. Ms. Mansfield testified that at that point, a man wearing a mask and camouflage clothing and carrying a gun appeared in front of the car. She testified that the gun was approximately a foot long. The man carrying the gun was later determined to be Doug Looney. He pointed the gun at her and forced her out of the vehicle. The two struggled, and Ms. Mansfield pulled off his mask, only seeing the back of his head. The man grabbed her purse and ran. Ms. Mansfield testified that the man hit her in the head three times during the scuffle.
