On Friday, we told you about the high-speed chase by police which led to the detention of one of the men who was suspected to have been involved in a robber in Ladyville. That man is 18 year-old Micah Tillett, who told the court he is an SJC Criminal Law student of Croton Lane, and tonight he is out on bail.
As we reported, John Penner, a businessman, told police that he was making a delivery at Mile 9 in the Ladyville area, when 3 dark-skinned men approached him.
According to Penner, two of the men were armed with firearms, and they robbed him of several checks, cellular phones, and other personal items. Another man who was with him was robbed of $1,780 in cash, and immediately after, all 3 men jumped into a green vehicle, sped away.
A team of police officers responded to the report, and set chase after the vehicle. They finally caught up to it in the Belama area on Chetumal Street.
According to police, the occupants of the vehicle then jumped out of the vehicle, and managed to escape, but they caught Tillett in the vehicle, along with some of the money.
As a result, he was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, and today, he was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith. Due to a submission from his attorney, Bryan Neal, he was granted bail of $1,000, and he is expected to return to court on April 30.
