Girl in robbery video returns home

Meadow Webb was holding her mother's hand as she walked through Sea-Tac Airport and said the first thing she wanted to do when she gets home is nap.

Meadow was placed into protective custody late Wednesday night by police in California after they tried to arrest her father. She was flown home Friday afternoon.

The girl's dad, Robert Daniel Webb, was being sought for the Tuesday morning robbery of an AM/PM Mini Mart just off I-90 near Ellensburg, Wash.

Kittitas County Undersheriff Clayton Myers said a man believed to be Webb approached the counter at the store, drew a gun and demanded money from the register.

The clerk complied and the man left the store with his daughter, who was at his side during the robbery.

Webb fled to California and was staying with a friend who contacted police when he learned Webb was a wanted man.

When officers arrived at the home about, Webb let the girl out of the car and sped off, said Fortuna Police Detective Aaron Starcher.

Webb managed to get away during a high-speed chase but not before investigators got a chance to get up close.

"Sgt. Kadell observed opened bottles of vodka and also could detect the odor of alcohol omitting from Mr. Webb's clothing," said Starcher.

Detectives said Webb was driving a silver 2008 Toyota Corolla with license plate 602-XQG. He is still on the run.

Meadow was not harmed, and at Sea-Tac on Friday her mother said she was glad to have her daughter back.

"I'm glad she's home," Susan Webb said. "She's safe and we just need to go home and rest."

Meadow seemed happy to be back, but did not want to talk about her four-day ordeal.

"I don't feel like it. It makes me sad," she said.
