A Watonga man is in jail in Canadian County facing multiple serious charges.
A probable cause affidavit from Canadian County District Court alleges Dairious Laundrell Kearney, 28, took part in a robbery of a convenience store near the interstate at Highway 281.
The Geary Police Department was contacted Feb. 19 near midnight and dispatched to the 108 Fuel and Food truck stop. The clerk said a man in a facemask and hoodie held him at gunpoint and took the cash from the store and stole his car.
According to the clerk, a blonde woman had come into the store to pay for fuel, but said she was unable to operate the gas pumps. The clerk went to the gas pump with the woman, where a man pulled a gun on him and demanded all the cash in the safe.
The pair then forced the clerk into his own car and drove to the I-40 on ramp where they booted him from the vehicle. He ran back to the store and called police.
Surveillance cameras in the shop show the entire event unfold much as the clerk recounted it. He told police the suspects would have his keys, including two bank bag keys.
At that time, dispatch told the Geary officer, Cpl. Walker Nye, El Reno police had apprehended two people matching the robbery suspects’ description and was transporting them to the Canadian County Jail.
The suspects were later identified as Kearney and Hilary Iannuccilli, 55, of Yukon.
Kearney is charged with first degree robbery, kidnapping, larceny of an automobile and use of a firearm in commission of a felony.
Iannuccilli is charged with first degree robbery and kidnapping.
Kearney remains jailed in Canadian County, although the public access site does not indicate Iannuccilli as currently being held at that facility.
