Arrest Made in New Year’s Eve Domino’s Robbery
Myrtle Beach Police have apprehended a suspect in connection with an armed robbery that occurred at a local Domino’s Pizza on New Year’s Eve. Jamare Alfonzo Clayburn, 24, faces charges including armed robbery, resisting arrest, and possession of marijuana, following the incident at the pizza establishment located at 1706 S. Kings Highway. The swift action of law enforcement brings a resolution to a crime that cast a shadow over the city’s festive ushering in of the new year.
Details of the Robbery
The robbery unfolded on December 31, 2025, when a masked individual, later identified as Clayburn, entered the Domino’s Pizza. Reports indicate the man was clad in black clothing with a mask obscuring the lower portion of his face. He brandished a firearm, threatening an employee before directing the weapon towards the cash register. The suspect then absconded with approximately $88 in cash, fleeing the scene on foot.
The Path to Arrest
The apprehension of Clayburn came days after the event. On January 2, 2026, Clayburn was initially detained on unrelated charges. During the course of their investigation, officers observed that Clayburn’s attire matched descriptions from a “be on the lookout” report related to the Domino’s robbery. Further corroboration came from security footage at the restaurant and a subsequent photo lineup, which positively identified Clayburn as the perpetrator. He was subsequently booked into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center, where he remains held without bail for the armed robbery charge.
A Reflection on Community Safety
Such incidents, though resolved through diligent police work, remind us of the persistent challenges faced by communities. The abrupt disruption of peace, even for a moment, carries a weight that extends beyond the immediate victims. It speaks to a fragility in the everyday fabric of life that requires constant vigilance and a communal commitment to order. While the material loss in this instance was modest, the invasion of a space of commerce, particularly during a time of collective celebration, underscores the human element—the employee subjected to threat, the momentary fear that grips a neighborhood. The diligent work of the Myrtle Beach Police in securing an arrest offers a measure of reassurance, reaffirming that acts disrupting the public peace are met with determined response. The pursuit of justice, in these moments, is not merely an exercise in legal procedure but a quiet declaration of societal expectation: that life should proceed with a reasonable expectation of safety and that those who disregard this fundamental need will be held accountable.
