Alvin Knard and Wendell Davis Robbed the Highlands Bakery in 1983
In 1983, Alvin Knard and Wendell Davis robbed the Highlands Bakery in Bessimer, Alabama. The two men waited in an alley for the last customer to leave before entering through the front door wearing ski mask and wielding knives. Both men ran out of the store and didn't stop until they made it to Davis' girlfriend's house. There they tallied their haul. A few crumpled bills and a roll of pennies, $50.75 in total. At the time, three strikes meant a life without parole sentence.
