In a new update on an armed robbery case from Florence, South Carolina, emerging reports confirm that two more men have been arrested. The local authorities have identified the duo as Question Denard Mitchell, 22, and Quisan Tyree Dozier, 20. Both arrests were made last month, bringing the total to three suspects in custody for the criminal incident.
Charges and Bail Proceedings
The police acquired warrants against Mitchell on charges of armed robbery, criminal conspiracy, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. On the flip side, Dozier has been charged with armed robbery, criminal conspiracy, and unlawful neglect of a child. Mitchell and Dozier are currently in custody at the Florence County Detention Center, as confirmed by online booking records. The conditions or prospects of their bail have not been disclosed yet.
Reactions from Local Law Enforcement
The local law enforcement community has expressed contentment over the progress in the case. It is expected that the arrests will provide significant leads for further investigations. However, the police have not ruled out the possibility of other suspects being involved.
Details of the Robbery Incident
The armed robbery incident took place on June Lane on July 8. The suspects reportedly brandished firearms and robbed a group of juveniles. The situation was rather alarming as one of the adult suspects allegedly held a weapon to the juveniles’ backs while going through their pockets. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries or casualties during the incident.
Dozier’s Connection to a Minor
Reports highlight an unusual aspect of the case involving Dozier having a minor under his care at the time of the crime. He is accused of having the child in his Ford F-150 along with Crawford and Mitchell during and after the robbery. The child was fortunately not physically harmed but the incident brings up additional serious implications for this already grave crime. Details regarding his relation to the minor or the minor’s current whereabouts or condition have not been made public.
Past Arrest Related to the Case
Prior to the arrests of Mitchell and Dozier, 19-year-old Joe Lucky Crawford had been charged in connection with the same armed robbery. He was apprehended on charges of armed robbery, criminal conspiracy, possession of marijuana, and unlawful possession of a pistol. Crawford remains in custody at the Florence County Detention Center along with Mitchell and Dozier. The extent of the three suspects’ connections and collaborations are now a subject of keen interest for the investigators.
As the investigation into the armed robbery continues, the community is urged to remain alert and report any suspicious activities directly to the police.
