SHEFFIELD — A Colbert County man already charged with three counts of first-degree robbery has been charged with the robbery of Chuck E. Cheese Restaurant in Sheffield, officials said this morning.

Winford Cobb Jr., 41, Elm St., Littleville, was charged with three counts of first-degree robbery by Muscle Shoals police Wednesday. This morning an additional first-degree robbery charge was added for the armed-robbery of Chuck E. Cheese on Hatch Boulevard that happened around 9:30 Saturday night.

Cobb previously was accused of robbing Jack’s Restaurant on Woodward Avenue, Quick Stop convenience store on Alabama 20 and Sweet Pepper’s Deli Restaurant on Avalon Avenue. Jack’s and the convenience store were robbed Friday night, while Sweet Pepper’s was robbed Saturday.

About six hours after police said he robbed Sweet Peppers, investigators said he walked into Chuck E. Cheese and acted as if he had a gun and demanded money from the clerk.

Cobb is being held in the Colbert County Jail on bail totaling $150,000.
