Halloween robbery suspect arrested

Nearly four months after crime, 24-year-old man booked into Kitsap County Jail.

A 24-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the Halloween night stick-up of a Winslow Drugstore, Bainbridge Police said.

Simon Diot Stocker, formerly of Bainbridge Island, was arrested Monday on an unrelated drug charge and during an interview with police admitted to committing the Oct. 31 robbery. He was booked into the Kitsap County Jail and is being held on $100,000 bail.

A man wearing a “skull” mask entered Vern’s Winslow Drug shortly before closing on Halloween night, displayed a handgun to an employee and demanded prescription pain medications, police said.

The employee complied, putting medications into a plastic bag, and the suspect fled through the back door.

Police released a surveillance photo of the suspect shortly after the crime, but no arrests had been made prior to Monday.
