The robbery took place in December, 2006 at the Tropical Oasis game room on State Highway 34 South. A clerk inside the business is reported to have been approached by a man wearing dark clothes and something over his face waving a pistol and demanding money. A toy gun and knit mask found in Moore's vehicle were discovered to have been purchased earlier that day.
