A man convicted of trying to rob Taco Bell in Ocala using a rock has been sentenced to four years in state prison.
Kewarren Anderson, 40, received the sentence on Thursday. Court records show he was credited for six months and 19 days of time already served.
The incident happened in July 2025 and was recorded on body camera video later shared by Ocala police on social media. The footage shows a K9 unit tracking Anderson from the Taco Bell at 2380 SW College Road to a nearby trash bin. When the dog located him behind the bin, it bit Anderson.
According to the arrest affidavit, Anderson told police he was homeless and needed money. He admitted he tried to rob Taco Bell by climbing through a drive‑thru window while holding a rock and demanding cash from employees.
Police arrested Anderson shortly after the attempted robbery. The body camera video of the effort to rob Taco Bell was included in a video player at the top of the original story.
