A Tulsa, Oklahoma man will be on his way back to prison after admitting in court this week that he robbed the Stride Rite shoe store in Toms River the day after he was released from prison \u2013 for robbing the exact same store 15 years earlier.<\/p>\n

Christopher Miller, 41, entered a guilty plea Monday before Superior Court Judge James M. Blaney to a charge of second degree robbery, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Miller had been released from a South Jersey prison March 21, 2014 after serving a 15 year sentence for robbing the Stride Rite store in November 1999. After apparently taking a bus from Atlantic City to Toms River, he went right back to the store and robbed it again \u2013 even the same clerk who had been working there 15 years ago was in the store during the second robbery, according to officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he committed the most recent robbery on March 22, 2014 at the Stride Rite store, the clerk was able to identify him for police upon their arrival,\u201d said Della Fave. \u201cThis same victim had recently been notified of the defendant\u2019s release on parole supervision from the 1999 armed robbery.\u201d<\/p>\n

The prosecutor\u2019s office will be asking Blaney to impose the maximum sentence \u2013 20 years \u2013 for the most recent robbery, for which Miller would have to serve 85 percent of the time.<\/p>\n

During the most recent robbery \u2013 like the first \u2013 Miller collected the store employees\u2019 cell phones before forcing them to the back of the store while wielding the cash register drawer. Toms River police say he got away with $389. A police K9 found the employees\u2019 phones stuffed in a downspout behind the shopping center.<\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s note:<\/strong> An earlier version of this story said Stride Rite was located in the Ocean County Mall. Its correct location is on Hooper Avenue, several blocks north of the mall.<\/p>\n
