A Kalispell man whose gas station robbery was stalled by a dead getaway car has pleaded not guilty in district court.
Jeremy Curtis Conder appeared in Flathead County District Court on Nov. 6. He has been charged with felony robbery following the failed Oct. 27 holdup.
According to court documents, Conder walked into the Evergreen Town Pump wearing a hat and green mask. He came to the counter and set a gun down, pointed at the clerk and said, “money.” A second clerk came over and said “really?” and Conder nodded. The first clerk handed Conder an undisclosed amount of money. Conder walked outside to a gold GMC truck but was unable to start the vehicle.
While Conder sat in the vehicle, a customer wrote down the license plate, which read “CONDER1.” Soon after, officers from the Kalispell Police Department and Flathead County Sheriff’s Office arrived and arrested Conder.
If convicted, Conder could face 40 years in prison and a fine of $50,000.
Conder is currently being held on $50,000 bond at the Flathead County Jail. He is set to stand trial next spring.
