In the early morning hours of December 30, 2015, Siddiq entered a convenience store located in Bowling Green, displayed what appeared to be a handgun to the clerk and robbed the store of cash and cigarettes. A co-defendant, Scott Levine, was previously convicted and sentenced for his role in the matter.
