JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A man from Jacksonville has admitted guilt to federal charges connected to an armed robbery at a grocery store in Ormond Beach, according to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Ahli Fields, 34, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act robbery, Hobbs Act robbery, and brandishing a firearm during a violent crime. He faces a minimum of seven years and potentially life in federal prison.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said that on June 9, 2020, Fields and an accomplice traveled from Jacksonville to Ormond Beach to commit a robbery. They indicated that Fields supplied the firearm and remained nearby while the other suspect entered the store, threatened staff, and stole several thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

Investigators later used cellphone records and location data to place Fields at the scene during the robbery, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

Fields\u2019s co-defendant, Nathaniel Cox, is still in jail, awaiting trial on charges linked to this case and additional armed robberies across Central Florida.<\/p>\n
