Suspect jailed after armed robbery at Hilton Head gas station caught on surveillance video

A 22-year-old suspect from Beaufort is in custody after an armed robbery at a Hilton Head gas station late last month was caught on surveillance video.

Trevor Lamont Hicks was charged May 31 with armed robbery and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. He remained in custody at the Beaufort County Detention Center as of Monday afternoon, although bond information was not immediately available.

Police said Hicks entered Parker’s Kitchen at 430 William Hilton Parkway shortly before midnight on May 27, demanding money and cigarettes while holding the clerk at gunpoint. It’s unclear how much was stolen in total from the store, although surveillance video shared by the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office shows the suspect, dressed in black, grabbing wads of cash from an open cash register.

Hicks had previous convictions for driving under suspension, fleeing to elude and interfering with police. A preliminary hearing for his armed robbery charges is scheduled for June 28, according to Beaufort County court records.
