JEFFERSON COUNTY — Bail was set at $75,000 for an 18-year-old Centralia man charged Wednesday morning in Jefferson County Court with an April 2019 robbery of a Mt. Vernon gas station.

Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Kiandrea Donald Tuesday. Donald was formally charged Wednesday morning with Class 1 felony aggravated robbery by indicating a firearm.

A Class 1 felony is punishable by between 4 and 15 years if convicted.

Donald was being held in Juvenile Detention stemming from a juvenile conviction in Marion County prior to his Tuesday arrest. He was a juvenile at the time of the alleged incident but is being tried as an adult.

Bail in the Jefferson County case was set at $75,000 Wednesday and a formal arraignment in the case was scheduled for March 18 in Jefferson County Court. Donald remains in the Jefferson County Jail pending the posting of 10% cash bond.

He’s accused in connection with the early morning robbery on April 13, 2019, of Huck’s in the 3300 block of Broadway.

Mt. Vernon police responded to a report of two black males who had reportedly entered the business, with one of them possibly armed with a firearm.

The offenders allegedly took an undetermined amount of money and also took an employee’s keys before fleeing.
