Jennifer Nelson Odom, 34, was jailed on $200,000 bond and will have her first court appearance Thursday, according to Captain Chuck Hasty of the Northampton County Sheriff's Office. She was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon.

The robbery occurred around 9 p.m. at the Duck Thru when Odom allegedly went into the store saying she had a gun and demanded money.

The clerk complied and she left with an undisclosed amount of money.

Hasty said the employee gave a good description of the vehicle as well as its direction of travel.

Rich Square Officer Altessie Taylor located the vehicle at another store in Woodland. Hasty said it was unclear whether Odom intended to rob that store.

Taylor, state Highway Patrol Trooper Danny Edwards and off-duty Deputy Chris Collier took Odom into custody. Lieutenant Bo Deloatch of the sheriff's office filed the charge against Odom.

“The store employees that gave our communications center a very good description of the suspect, the vehicle and a direction of travel assisted law enforcement in making a quick arrest of the suspect,” Sheriff Jack Smith said. “The communication center quickly getting that information out to our law enforcement officers helped them locate the suspect and arrest her. Our law enforcement agencies working together was also key in arresting the suspect quickly.”

North Carolina State Highway Patrol Troopers Jamie Warren and Dustin Efrid, the Murfreesboro Police Department and Hertford County Sheriff’s Office also assisted.
