New charges for accused robber

BIG LAKE — A man charged at Thanksgiving time with robbing a good Samaritan who stopped to help him out of a ditch has been charged with a second robbery.

Phillip Moore, 27, apparently managed to post a $20,000 bond through a bondsman in order to get out of jail after being arrested for his first robbery case. Jail records currently list him as being housed at the Mat-Su Pre-Trial Facility.

Court filings allege that while at large July 18, Moore was one of two people who punched and sprayed a 71-year-old Big Lake man with bear spray before relieving him of a handgun at his home on Halston Avenue. The victim said someone pried open his front door and two people robbed him. He declined medical attention.

What few details are contained in the charging documents against Moore filed in the new case line up with the July robbery case. Another person is charged in the robbery, Danielle Carrier. Both face 11 felony counts, including robbery, burglary, theft and assault. Carrier faces an additional burglary count.

Carrier may show up obliquely in Moore’s previous case as well.

In that case, Moore was allegedly informed that a Big Lake woman had just gotten $300 from her father to spend at the Black Friday day-after-Thanksgiving sales in Wasilla.

Moore allegedly pretended to get his car stuck in the snow on Jenalee Circle near where the woman lived. The woman stopped to help him out.

“After getting the vehicle unstuck, the driver pulled out a silver revolver and demanded (the victim) hand over her purse,” according to an affidavit filed at the time.

Susan Ace, who had been running errands with the victim at the time and saying suspicious things on her cellphone all the while, allegedly told troopers she’d been talking to a woman, “Danielle C,” whom she was planning to meet with and borrow money from.

Troopers tracked her down but did not charge her.

“Danielle denied any knowledge or involvement in the incident,” according to the affidavit.

Carrier was jailed for the July case at the Hiland Mountain Correctional Center.
