ELLENSBURG -- The man accused of robbing a convenience store with his 9-year-old daughter at his side pleaded not guilty during an arraignment Monday in Kittitas County Superior Court.

Forty-two-year-old Robert Daniel Webb of Everett, Wash., formerly of Yakima, is charged with robbery and reckless endangerment in the March 31 holdup of the store near Thorp.

Video shows the girl in a pink coat watching as a robber pulls a gun and takes about $200 from the clerk, saying he needed the money for his daughter.

The girl was safely returned to her mother. Webb was arrested April 4 in Yakima.

Webb is being held on $500,000 bail. Trial has been set for June 2.

Perhaps he should change his plea to "Insanity", if he thinks for an instant he isn't guilty. Since he was in full view on video during the whole event, some attorney either is insane himself or he has delusions or is simply crooked.

You can guess which one of those I am choosing.

nick regardless of the mounting evidence against him, he has every right to plea what ever he likes. That is his right and it is part of the process of our lovely justice system. If you ever find your self in a situation where you're the one facing judgment, you would want the same choices available to you.

Nick, my guess is he pled not guilty at arraignment because no one ever pleads guilty at a felony arraignment. They typically always get appointed a lawyer from the public defender's office too. They're free to go out and hire a lawyer if they wish, but the court ensures they have legal representation and an opportunity to discuss their options and what can happen to them if they plead guilty or go to trial. No surprise that he pled not guilty at arraignment. They all do.
