Kewarren Anderson, 40, received a four-year prison term on Thursday for his role in the armed robbery last year at a Taco Bell located in Ocala. According to a probable cause arrest affidavit, police were called to the scene at 2380 SW College Road around 12:30 a.m. on July 8. Witnesses reported that Anderson, with a shirt wrapped around his head, entered the establishment through the drive-thru window wielding a large rock and demanding money.

Employees recounted how Anderson chased them out of the restaurant and around the parking lot, still brandishing the rock and insisting on cash. He eventually fled the scene on foot.

Authorities, assisted by a K-9 unit, tracked Anderson to a dumpster at a nearby business. Workers identified him as the perpetrator, who is also known by the nickname “Tony the Tiger.” Anderson confessed to being at the Taco Bell with the rock, claiming he was homeless and in need of money.
