Wanted woman was the getaway driver for an armed store holdup in Moss Point, cops say

A curly-haired woman is believed to be the getaway driver for an armed robber who held up a dollar store on Main Street.

Investigators believe the unidentified woman drove Dasia Monique Davis to the Family Dollar on Main Street, where Davis allegedly robbed the store at gunpoint about 1:07 p.m. on June 19, Police Chief Brandon Ashley said.

Davis, who reportedly wore a "Deadpool" backpack when she robbed the store, was identified through a tip to Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers, Ashley said. Police arrested Davis on June 22.

Police released a surveillance picture of the alleged driver on Friday.

The woman has reddish-brown hair and may have a large tattoo on her upper right thigh, Ashley said.

She is about 5-foot-7 and weighs between 130 and 165 pounds.

To give a tip, call Detective Kimberlee Snowden or the Moss Point Police Department at 228-475-1711.

Davis also is suspected in the attempted armed robberies the next night of Raising Canes and a McDonald's in Pascagoula.
