After a nearly year-long investigation, Sheriff’s deputies arrested a Yucca Valley man accused of robbing a convenience store at gun point. Just after 1 a.m. on January 29, 2020, two men entered the Flyer’s gas station convenience store at the corner of Church Street and Highway 62. The men brandished a black semi-automatic handgun and knife at the clerks on duty and demanded cash. After taking money and cigarettes, the two men fled. During the investigation, deputies located evidence related to the robbery and continued to investigate. Earlier this month, detectives developed leads linking Paulix Ramirez, 21, to the armed robbery, and sought a warrant for his arrest. About 10:30 a.m. Friday, January 15, deputies located Ramirez near the intersection of Highway 62 and Old Woman Springs Road. Paulix Ramirez was arrested without incident for investigation of armed robbery, booked into the Morongo Basin Jail, with his bail set at $150,000.
