Convicted Felon Charged Following Hesperia Liquor Store Armed Robbery

Davon Burson, a 21-year-old convicted felon from Victorville, was arrested following an armed robbery at Royal Liquor in Hesperia, where he allegedly threatened a store clerk with a firearm and stole $100. Deputies quickly identified Burson and apprehended him during a traffic stop shortly after midnight the next day. A search of his residence uncovered several illegal firearms, including a submachine gun, a short-barreled rifle, and various ammunition, despite Burson being prohibited from possessing such weapons. He now faces multiple felony charges, including robbery and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, and is being held on $1.1 million bail. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the Hesperia Police Department or provide anonymous tips via the We-Tip hotline. The case underscores ongoing concerns about gun violence and repeat offenders in the region.
