Summit County woman jailed after armed robbery, limousine chase and assault

A knife-point robbery at Ken’s Kash Store in Oakley unraveled into a chain of threats and collisions that forced deputies, state troopers and bystanders to react across Summit County.

Roslin Tarley Castell was jailed after the June 3 incident, which began when the Summit County Sheriff’s Office first received a report of a bomb threat in Oakley. While a deputy was heading toward that call, he was redirected to Ken’s Kash Store, where a clerk said a woman entered with a knife, said she was robbing the store because she needed money and could not open the cash register. The woman left in a white limousine.

The same limousine later drew the deputy’s attention again. When he tried to stop it, the driver fled, leading to a chase that lasted about five miles before Utah Highway Patrol used spike strips to bring the vehicle to a stop. After the limousine stopped, a woman matching the clerk’s description ran away but was detained roadside. Officers reportedly found a short knife and an empty knife sheath on her person.

Castell now faces a first-degree felony aggravated robbery charge, along with third-degree felony charges of aggravated assault and failure to stop at the command of police. She also faces misdemeanor counts of providing false information to police, threat of violence and failure to comply with duties at a vehicle accident.

During the arrest, investigators say Castell gave the false name Jamie Call before a deputy located identification showing she was Castell. The sequence left law enforcement moving from one call to the next in quick succession, with the initial bomb threat report, the armed robbery, the pursuit and the roadside arrest all unfolding in the same span of time.

ABC4 Utah also reported that, shortly before Castell was caught, deputies responded to an attempted kidnapping involving an 18-year-old female who was running when the white limousine struck her in the legs. The victim said Castell demanded her phone and warned her, “I don’t want to have to hurt you,” then followed her back to her residence and pulled into the driveway. The victim told her father what happened, and he drove after Castell as she pulled away. Castell also allegedly reversed into another vehicle intentionally and fled from deputies during the same series of events.

Charges are allegations only, and arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
