Beaufort man pleads guilty to Parker’s Kitchen armed robbery on Hilton Head
A Beaufort man was sent to prison for last year’s late-night stickup of a Parker’s Kitchen on north-end Hilton Head Island.
Trevor Lamont Hicks, 23, received a 6-year prison sentence under South Carolina’s Youthful Offender Act for the felony conviction of armed robbery. Inmates sentenced under the YOA program can be conditionally released at any time, typically after a 1-year imprisonment.
No shots were fired during the May 27, 2024, incident at Parker’s #90, located at 430 William Hilton Parkway.
Police said Hicks walked in shortly before midnight and held the clerk at gunpoint, demanding cigarettes and money. After the employee stepped aside, Hicks was seen on the store’s surveillance video grabbing wads of cash from the register.
Hicks was arrested 4 days later and remained in jail until his sentencing May 13. He also pleaded guilty to an unrelated simple larceny charge and received no additional prison time.
In Beaufort County, Hicks was previously convicted of interfering with police, fleeing from police and driving under suspension.
Records from the South Carolina Department of Corrections show Hicks was booked May 15 at the Kirkland Reception and Evaluation Center in Columbia, which is the state’s primary intake facilty for new inmates.
