A suspect robbed a west Charlotte Family Dollar store
Belton Davis, 44, was sentenced to prison on November 19, 2025 for robbing a Family Dollar on Beatties Ford Rd. Charlotte, NC.
On April 30, 2024, Davis entered a Family Dollar store located at 3618 Beatties Ford Road in Charlotte and robbed the store at gun point.
Court documents show that Davis robbed the store after an individual associated with the defendant had a dispute with the store clerk about a monetary transaction.
Upon entering the store, Davis retrieved a firearm from his waistband, pointed it at the store clerk and demanded money from the register.
The store clerk complied. After stealing the money, Davis fled the scene in his vehicle. A witness on the scene observed the vehicle’s license plate which the store clerk provided to the 9-1-1 operator.
CMPD officers quickly located and stopped the vehicle, and Davis was taken into custody. Upon a search of the vehicle and the defendant, the officers found a loaded Smith and Wesson SD40 VE .40 caliber pistol and cash.
Davis has a prior conviction for second degree murder, and he is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition.
On November 26, 2024, Davis pleaded guilty to hobbs act robbery, possession and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
A federal judge ordered Davis to serve 117 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release. He will remain in federal custody until he is transferred to the Federal Bureau of Prisons upon designation of a federal facility.
